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.
Several troops of Great Zhao Army were gathered here. These soldiers belonged to three big regiments; there were one million people in total. However… putting so many people in order was a taxing job!
"We must put the army in order. We must quickly retreat before something happens again." Long Ao spoke with a serious look on his face, "There's no point in staying here. We'll only get eroded by the enemy little by little. And, what if… our route of retreat gets blocked by the enemy? We will be done for if that were to happen…"
The other two generals nodded again and again.
In fact, the three of them understood that the majority of the Iron Cloud's forces had been firmly contained on the main battlefield by the Great Zhao's forces. Only a small part of Iron Cloud's army was stationed here; and, they couldn't leave their posts either.
