Nine Rings C143
by MarineTL — Chapter 143: Strange Occurrences 2 The deep mountains were rugged and steep, making outsiders a rare sight. Consequently, all the villagers—some several dozen people—went out to take a look. The young man went too, but when he saw the stranger's face, he was terrified out of his wits. That man looked identical to the corpse he had found in the cave three days ago! Even the clothes he wore were the exact same! The young man was scared out of his wits, but he didn't dare say anything on the…

Nine Rings C175
by MarineTL — Chapter 175: Spirit Channeling It was impossible for any mechanism to silently move a massive, solid stone door to another location. This was a matter of physics, not metaphysics; moving something that heavy would inevitably make noise. With that realization, our previous "mechanism theory" fell apart on its own. But if it wasn't a large-scale mechanism, what else in a tomb could move a door without making a sound? He Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Um, Xiao Yao, let me brainstorm for a…

Nine Rings C207
by MarineTL — Chapter 207: Surveillance My family's ancestral home sits outside the county seat. It has no heating, and in the winter, once the snow falls, the chill seeps up from the ground. Not to mention, the place has been uninhabited for a long time. I was kneeling on a tattered prayer mat in front of the altar, surrounded by eight men. They weren't all Gan Rong's people; some had been sent by other pankous specifically to keep an eye on me, fearing I might slip away if they looked the other way for even a…

Chapter
Nine Rings C239
by MarineTL — Chapter 239: Entering the Linhu Tomb "What do you think? Should we head up and take a look?" He Yu asked me. Old Qian and I both gave him an incredibly definitive look. Setting aside the fact that we had been falling all this way and didn't even know our exact location, if the King of Gune's tomb had truly been exposed by that sudden earthquake and was sitting right behind that stone door, there was no way we were passing up the chance. Besides, I had a feeling that the group of strange figures who…

Nine Rings C271
by MarineTL — Chapter 271: The Lu Family Ancestral Hall When I walked into the front hall carrying my bag on my back, Lu Ling was sitting in a chair, having just finished a cup of tea. She glanced at me, set down her teacup, and stood up. She walked silently until she was standing right in front of me. I watched her with a complicated expression as she leaned close to my ear. She whispered, "Don't you want to know the truth? Follow me. I'll tell you everything." My expression shifted. Having said her piece, Lu…

Nine Rings C26
by MarineTL — Chapter 26: Bug Hunt The two of us huddled together and drank a little water. Worried that the Coffin and Outer Coffin behind us might have been pried open by those bugs, we crawled forward for another half an hour. The tunnel was narrow—whoever carved these passages must have been unusually short. I kept banging my head or scraping my back, making every inch of progress a struggle. The tunnel twisted and turned. Though there were no sheer drops or vertical climbs, a few steep slopes angled at…

Nine Rings C58
by MarineTL — Chapter 58: Sudden Upheaval I hadn’t even finished speaking when Hou Jinshan burst out laughing. "Kid, trying to trick me again? This time, I’m not falling for it." My thoughts were much clearer now. Earlier, I’d been influenced by He Yu, but ever since we entered the cave this time, I’d been paying close attention to the passage of time. Exactly two hours had passed from the moment we started diving until now. I figured it was time to stop and sort out my thoughts. Li Wanchou had…

Nine Rings C90
by MarineTL — Chapter 90 - A Rash Decision The water below was pitch-black, and the nighttime chill cut straight to the bone. Honestly, if it had been daytime, I probably wouldn’t have jumped into the river so easily. As someone from the Central Plains, I’d grown up learning about the Yellow River. So I knew all too well that the most dangerous things in rivers weren’t the visible currents, but the hidden undertows and whirlpools. Those could silently drag even the strongest swimmers to their deaths. That…
