Nine Rings C240
by MarineTL — Chapter 240: The Tomb Passage Right by the stone wall to the left behind the door, several bluestone slabs extended from crevices in the rock. We planned to follow these slabs down to see if there was a passage at the bottom of the pit leading into the mausoleum. Before stepping onto the bluestone slabs, I took a moment to estimate everyone's weight. There was no telling how many years those slabs had been wedged into the rock face; they might have become incredibly brittle. Stepping on them with too…

Nine Rings C24
by MarineTL — Chapter 24: Hanging Corpse Banner If He Yu hadn’t been blindly crawling through holes and just happened to run into me by sheer dumb luck, I might’ve been stuck here for the rest of my life. In a place like this, phones are completely useless—no wonder He Yu only brought a watch. That watch had an extremely precise timer, was waterproof, and practically indestructible. The ticking hands reminded me that I’d already been trapped in this cavern for a full three hours—and I hadn’t even…

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 C238
by MarineTL — Chapter 238: The Hexagram I never imagined that encountering people in such a cramped environment could be so terrifying. I pressed my back against the stone wall and held my breath, silently praying to Namo Amitabha Buddha, God, and every deity above, begging them not to let that group take an interest in my direction. I stood there for I don't know how long until the light behind me gradually faded. Only then did I cautiously peek out. The shadows of the group were gone; they had likely headed deeper…

Nine Rings C237
by MarineTL — Chapter 237: The Earth Trembles Since Liu Wan had issued her guest expulsion order, I had no choice but to wander out of her tent. It was getting late, but I didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy. Figuring that going back now would only disturb Old Qian and the others' rest, I took a stroll over to Fourth Brother's tent. He had already turned in, but he was clearly sleeping fitfully. I lingered outside for a moment, swiped a wind lantern hanging from some random tent, and slowly meandered away to find a…

Nine Rings C236
by MarineTL — Chapter 236: The Threatened Five Masters Liu Wan clearly didn't understand why I was speaking with such sarcasm and mockery. Fourth Brother's relationship with her was extraordinary, but that didn't mean I had to follow their decisions blindly. I understood the situation here better than anyone. When everyone had been trapped behind the Thousand-Jin Stone, only a few people outside had seemed genuinely anxious. From that, I deduced that most of them were merely maintaining a facade of cooperation while…

Nine Rings C235
by MarineTL — Chapter 235: Young Master Gan I watched the workers moving in and out with the explosives. Following my instructions, they stacked the charges in three rows. This first blast was essentially testing the waters for everyone, as no one knew how heavy or thick this Thousand-Jin Stone really was. Based on my intuition, it was nearly impossible for three rows of explosives to blast through a solid Thousand-Jin Stone, but for the safety of those trapped inside, I still decided to start with a small…

Nine Rings C234
by MarineTL — Chapter 234: Blasting the Stone The camp was already in total chaos. We sprinted straight along the shortest path, passing workers from various factions running back and forth. Without exception, none of them had the time or inclination to pay us any attention. I sprinted all the way to the stone gate. The interior was shrouded in sand and dust kicked up from the ground, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. I had run so fast that I almost caught a stitch in my side. I bent over to…
