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.
Nangong Shifeng and his four brothers left the Flat Mountain Ridge unreluctantly. They sighed continuously.

"What's done is done. Let's quickly leave now," one of the five said sadly, "We didn't rob only for this time… we only obtained the Nine-Leaves Flower after putting in all our might in fighting with the wolves. I originally thought that this was a rare good and we can get a good fortune out of it. I didn't expect that after running thousands of miles to come to this South-East region, we had instead offended our buyer… And it seems that we've offended an important person…"
"Yes, it would be bad if he comes to rob us," another one suddenly realized. Every one of them was born a robber. They were very mindful in this area.
