Nine Rings C48
by MarineTL — Chapter 48: Ghost Mountain It was two days later when I finally got another call from Hou Jinshan. The bastard had just gotten off the train at nine in the morning and was already sitting in the private room I’d reserved, waiting for me. I’m not a morning person, so I basically just splashed some water on my face and stumbled out the door half-asleep. I was in a foul mood, and even my footsteps carried a stormy air. Xiao Wu had handled things well. He’d booked a room near the stairs, where there…

Nine Rings C27
by MarineTL — Chapter 27: The Nine Murals He Yu blocked me in the crevice and tossed me a fruit knife. “Stay here!” With that, he dashed out to help. But once more people showed up, I wasn’t scared anymore. Orders like that don’t work on me in moments like this—both of them had gone out, how could I just sit here like a scared dog? I picked up the fruit knife and squeezed out of the crevice. What I saw was a giant centipede-like creature, several meters long, lying on the ground with its belly split open.…

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 C38
by MarineTL — Chapter 38: He Yu’s Theory We carried the injured men into the tent—many with broken arms and legs. He Yu’s left leg was in bad shape, a large chunk of flesh bitten off by those insects. Tian Yuqing and Tan Qiu didn’t look so good either; we must’ve lost quite a few people down there. Those few days had left me utterly drained. I tore the rune-covered white paper from the wall, stuffed it into my backpack, and collapsed into rest. I slept for two full days straight, and when I finally woke up,…

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 C17
by MarineTL — Chapter 17: The Eccentric The tradition of the Record Keeper of the Heard has been passed down through the ages, branching into various sects over time. The He family remains steadfast in their adherence to the old ways. Traditional Record Keepers of the Heard hold a distinctly martial worldview, forbidding their direct descendants from pursuing official positions or high-level clerical work. As a direct descendant of the great-grandson generation, He Yu was naturally barred from such professions. From a…

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…

Chapter
Nine Rings C28
by MarineTL — Chapter 28: The Right Decision Throughout history, inverted murals and decorations haven’t been all that rare. Sometimes, the ancients used reflections in lakes to create illusions that blended reality and fantasy—like using water to mirror the figures in a mural, crafting the illusion of an underwater city, a so-called “divine miracle.” He Yu was an authority on ancient paintings and artifact authentication. So when he said the image was “upside down,” I knew he wasn’t talking about…
