      Nine Rings C67

      Nine Rings C67 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 67: Memory Distortion? After changing the bandages and doing a quick rewrap, we all fell into silence. When Hou Jinshan woke up, he immediately started fawning over Lu A’yao, babbling nonsense non-stop. Lu A’yao didn’t respond to a single word, but that didn’t stop Hou Jinshan from chattering away like he was on fire. I kept quiet simply because I didn’t want to deal with him. I also didn’t want him overhearing too much of our conversation. As for Lu A’yao, I figured he had…

      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 C57

      Nine Rings C57 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 57: First Brush with Death The ringing in my ears vanished a split second before the cloud of scales descended. All I could hear was the roar of water, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Li Wanchou, his bloodied eyes shut tight, breaking the surface of the lake. He must have taken me for his last hope of survival. He grabbed onto me in desperation, probably thinking I could pull him up to the stone path. What he didn’t expect was how terrible my balance was. His sudden yank caught me…

      Nine Rings C68 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 68: Trapped Again No one in their right mind would willingly crawl into a coffin to keep company with the dead. So when it came to climbing up, we were all in perfect agreement. The pillar was covered in intricate carvings and decorative protrusions. The only upside to such a design was that it gave us plenty of footholds. We picked a spot with the most cutouts and started climbing. Lu A'yao led the way as usual, but this time, we had to make sure Hou Jinshan didn’t try to slip away halfway…

      Nine Rings C58 Cover
      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 had become 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. From the moment we started diving until now, exactly two hours had passed. I figured it was time to stop and sort out my thoughts. Li Wanchou had…

      Nine Rings C69

      Nine Rings C69 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 69: Reinforcements When I shone my flashlight down, I saw the birds landing one after another on the decaying hanging coffins. That’s when I finally understood how those coffins had gotten so many holes. The birds were piercing the coffin boards with their claws, then thrusting their sharp beaks inside to peck at the corpses. Seeing me lying at the edge of the ledge, peering downward, Lu A'yao suddenly crouched and began unfastening his backpack. Watching his movements, I asked, “What are…
