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 seeing Chu Yang's gaze, the masked hostage by his side laughed and said proudly, "These… My martial brothers are not bad, right?"
Within this group, even Manager Gao and Du Shi Qing dared not disrespect the hostage because of his special status. However, Chu Yang treated him with disregard.
Nevertheless, the hostage knew that it was safest for him to stay right by Chu Yang's side. Hence, he refused to separate from Chu Yang and attach himself with anyone else within this group even though Chu Yang got on his nerves frequently.
He firmly believed that even though Chu Yang was disrespectful towards him, he was the only person that did not want him dead. As for the rest, although they appeared courteous on the surface, what they truly wanted to do was to slaughter him.
There's a thousand to one chance that they will stab me once they get to a safe place… This was most definitely going to be the case!
