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.
Tie Butian was filled with concern. He was feared for the safety of Chu Yang during his trip to Great Zhao. Although he had wanted to voice out his concerns several times, he didn't. He even carelessly drank the Vitality Spring Water that Chu Yang had given to him in a single gulp. He was so anxious and concerned that he continued to pace up and down the great hall with a frown on his face.
"Can we leave within seven days?" Chu Yang asked as he wondered when they would be able to leave with Tang Xin Sheng's family to Great Zhao.
Tie Butian replied, "Diwu Qingrou didn't send anyone to escort them back. Why should we send our people to bring them home? Moreover, the world is covered in snow… We will discuss this when spring is here…"
Chu Yang frowned a little as he felt that Tie Butian was acting on his emotions. He seemed to have more reservations about Chu Yang leaving for Great Zhao than to return Tang Xin Sheng's family back to Great Zhao.
