Nine Rings C59
by MarineTL — Chapter 59: Man Eats Man My limbs were pinned down, unable to move. Deep down, I had already sensed something like this might happen, but I reacted far too slowly. If it had been Tian Yuqing in my place, he would've had a strategy prepared and a contingency plan ready. At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful position like I had. To say I was one of the rare geniuses among the juniors of the Five Masters was giving me way too much credit. Calling me the most outstanding idiot…

Nine Rings C70
by MarineTL — Chapter 70: The Ones We Can't Take With Us I waved frantically in Fourth Brother’s direction. He saw me too, his eyes full of worry. Strangely, there was no surprise in them. He and a few of his men grabbed hold of the iron chain that extended to the cave entrance, and it took them a full half hour to haul us up. The moment I climbed out, Fourth Brother yanked me aside. I stumbled, my ear aching from his grip, and he immediately started scolding me. “Are you trying to get yourself killed? What the…

Nine Rings C49
by MarineTL — Chapter 49: Songjiachang Reservoir After six months of digging through data, Hou Jinshan finally concluded that the Nieyao Divine Mountain was actually Shennongjia in Hubei. But up to this point, it was still just an educated guess based on basic information—he had no way to confirm it for certain. So he began searching for the whereabouts of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket, hoping to see it again. As we talked, Xiao Wu caught my look and went to lock the door. I pulled the Jade Casket out of my bag and…

Nine Rings C60
by MarineTL — Chapter 60: Suffocation This covered bridge probably doesn’t have too many traps, but that’s just my preliminary guess. After all, I’m not the one who built this ruin. Someone capable of embedding iron chains into the base of stone statues underwater is definitely no ordinary craftsman. If he insisted on rigging the bridge with something, I’d just have to accept my fate. Besides, it’s not like my mouth is really blessed with divine foresight. I raised my hand and gave Hou Jinshan a look. He…

Nine Rings C71
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…

Nine Rings C50
by MarineTL — Chapter 50: Into the Mountains The car stopped near the reservoir, and Hou Jinshan sent me another location. The spot he gave was remote, the kind of place only hardcore wild fishing enthusiasts would frequent. Xiao Wu and I trudged through the tall grass for ages before finally reaching the place. As soon as we arrived, we saw Hou Jinshan crouched by the water, seemingly unable to get up. When he saw me, he looked like he'd just spotted his savior. “Oh, thank god you're here, Young Master Gan! Look…

Nine Rings C61
by MarineTL — Chapter 61: Ghost Paintings and the Ghost Ruins "Get some rest and prepare to move out again." "This cave must have been flooded. Everything's damp. What a damn mess." "Keep your voice down. Don’t let Boss Yu hear you." The rustling voices stirred me from sleep. The stone beneath me was hard enough to bruise bone, and there was still water in my lungs I hadn’t completely coughed out. I sat up and hacked a few times, the world slowly coming into focus. I saw a fire burning nearby, a blanket…

Chapter
Nine Rings C72
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…
