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.
"You said that you need my help?" Chu Yang had developed a favorable impression of this black-clothed man for some inexplicable reason. However, both sides had reached a mutual understanding that they wouldn't ask each other's name. [This good natured man isn't willing to reveal his real identity. So, why would I tell him my name?]
The black-clothed man also had similar apprehensions, [how can I expect him to be frank and honest when I am being so secretive?]
"Yes, I noticed that you seemed rather interested in the news about Cang Lan Battlefront. I assume you are going to enter the Cang Lan Battlefront! That being the case… we might as well travel together," the black-clothed man — Chu Feiling — suggested with a mild smile.
"Travel together?" Chu Yang knitted his brows. [Why would such a strong person bother to travel with me?]
