Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Upon listening, Chu Tenghu stepped back. He thought: Even if I got the purple crystals, I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a round of beating. Father has just beaten fourth uncle up, and now fourth uncle has no channels to vent out his anger… It's better to let Tengjiao do the job.
After all, Chu Tengjiao was one year younger than Chu Tenghu, and didn't have so many wits. In addition, his heart was overwhelmed by greed. So he said enthusiastically, "I'll follow fourth uncle to get them."
So the two of them went into the inner courtyard —
Suddenly, followed by a 'bang', only Chu Feiyan's yelling sound was heard, "Did you see the purple crystals?"
This was again followed by a few slapping sounds, accompanied by Chu Feiyan's thunderous voice, "Did you see? Did you see?"
Chu Tengjiao's crying sounds were heard.
