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 reason why the people of the Black Devil Clan were hiding in the peripheral area was because… Black Devil Clan was always ready to loot any clan's victory gains… This had been a consistent tradition of the Black Devil Clan — Charge and break through the lines of the other clans.

They couldn't eat cooked food since their operations depended on ambush strategy. After all, smoke would rise from the cooking. And, those great clans had plenty of old foxes. So, who would the Black Devil Clan loot if people didn't pass from here?
Therefore, they could only eat raw rations.
Dammit! The people of the Black Devil Clan had been eating raw food in this Northern Wilderness. However, they discovered thick smoke rising in the sky from a not too faraway place… [Crap! Someone is roasting meat?]
