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.
The elderly man in cyan robes snorted. "Strange? What's so strange about that?"
Chu Yang did not say anything.
The elderly man then said, "So this means that the Zhuge Clan and the Ye Clan were the ones who killed Lan Ruoyun?"
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment before he answered. "Well, not entirely, because afterward, when Young Master Lan became gravely injured and couldn't move anymore… One of the Zhuge Clan experts seemed to say something and then he went into the forest and caught a wolf…"
Murderous intent flared strongly in the elderly man's eyes. He shouted furiously, "You don't have to say anymore!"
Chu Yang shut up at once, as meek as a mouse.
The elderly man had a thunderous look on his face, his thoughts unreadable as he stood still for a long time. Then, as though talking to himself, he asked, "Gu Duxing, at the critical moment, are you willing to be my witness?"
