      Nine Rings C78

      Nine Rings C78 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 78: 4341951009 After talking for quite a while, He Yu finally gave in. He asked, “You want to investigate the Five Masters? That’s not going to be easy. Especially Tian Yuqing and Chen Si, those two are the trickiest of the bunch. If they team up to come after you, you won’t even know how you died. Who do you plan to ask for help?” That question hit right at my blind spot. When it came to industry insiders and backdoor dealings, I was completely out of my depth. Everyone always said…

      Nine Rings C77

      Nine Rings C77 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 77: Sorting Things Out Xiao Wu was one of Fourth Brother’s people, so I couldn’t count on him anymore. Lu A’yao’s phone had been unreachable the entire time. That guy was like a ghost—always vanishing, full of secrets. I didn’t plan on asking him for help either. At this point, the only person I could rely on was He Yu. I went downstairs and packed two servings of stewed noodles for him, then dragged a small stool over to the table in the living room. I leaned over it and spent a…

      Nine Rings C76

      Nine Rings C76 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 76: Finding Reinforcements When I said that, He Yu laughed. “What kind of good stuff could you possibly have? Just to eat your bowl of braised noodles, I’d have to run a few hundred kilometers.” I chuckled too. “Ever heard of the legendary Nieyao Ghost Market Map?” There was a sudden clatter on the other end of the line, like chopsticks hitting the floor. Then He Yu started shouting, “Boss lady! Check, please!” “What’s going on with you today, Xiao He? You’re not eating…

      Nine Rings C75

      Nine Rings C75 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 75: Xiao Wu’s Account When I woke up, the first thing I heard was the noisy chatter of some older folks nearby. They were speaking in dialect, and I couldn’t understand a single word. The bed beneath me was soft, and I wanted to stay curled up a bit longer. But sunlight streaming through the window stabbed at my eyes, making it nearly impossible to keep them open. I squinted and struggled to sit up, only to see Xiao Wu cheerfully pulling open the curtains. He dragged over a metal stool and…

      Nine Rings C74

      Nine Rings C74 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 74: Breaking Free No one knows when this iron chain bridge was built. Every step made it tremble violently. I gripped the chains on either side, moving with extreme caution, afraid that even the slightest extra movement might snap the fragile links and send the whole thing collapsing. As I held onto the chains and walked forward, I called out Fourth Brother’s name loudly. But most of my shouts echoed into silence. The more silence I got, the slower I moved. Ten minutes later, I found myself…

      Nine Rings C73

      Nine Rings C73 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 73: The False Miracle The space inside the stone gate was vast, easily the size of two or three football fields. I couldn’t say for certain whether this was a side chamber or the main tomb chamber, but judging by its sheer scale, I decided to call it the Tomb Chamber for now. Beneath my feet lay piles of golden artifacts and gleaming jewels. Five bronze pillars stood in five different directions, their bases buried beneath golden sand. These pillars were crafted from the same material and…

      Nine Rings C72

      Nine Rings C72 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 72: Headless Bodhisattva If one day I become the leader of the Five Masters, the very first rule I’d hammer into the handbook of their descendants—right on the first page, bolded and centered with an exclamation mark—would be: “Speak clearly and finish your damn sentences!” From what I’ve seen of the Five Masters’ descendants so far, not a single one can properly explain anything. I honestly start to wonder if they all flunked language class as kids. Is it really that hard to say…

      Nine Rings C71

      Nine Rings C71 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 71: Lu A'yao's Warning Of course I didn’t agree with what he said. The man wasn't even dead yet, and even if he were, I’d still want to bring him back and give him a proper burial. But Fourth Brother wasn’t joking. He was dead serious, trying to discuss it with me—or maybe he never intended to ask for my opinion at all. After all, everyone here listened to him. If he said to leave someone behind, who would dare disobey? When I didn’t respond, Fourth Brother asked, “You’re not…
