Chapter 111: Zhu Zemin's weakness
Walking briskly towards the corridor inside which he stored the vault, Zhu Zemin kept on looking all around to make sure no one was following him.
The vault possessed something which Zhu Zemin valued more than his own life.
Originally when his father had shown him the vault, changed the handprint which needed to unlock the vault into Zhu Zemin's, and revealed the details of the treasure inside it.
Zhu Zemin scoffed and wrote it off as the stupidity of all the previous generations to store a treasure which they didn't know what it did so safely. And even go as far as wasting so much money to do so.
However, when someone from the Yin Plundering Sect came to visit him and asked him about something which matched the very treasure his family had kept a secret for generations, Zhu Zemin started believing all the stories his father told him about it.
Furthermore, this belief was further strengthened after he heard what the Yin Plundering Sect would offer him if he gave them that.
But how could Zhu Zemin who finally figured out the treasure's worth hand it over so easily?
That's why he rejected all claims of having ever seen it, or possess it, and asked the elder form the Yin Plundering Sect to take her time and look around for it of she didn't believe him.
Long story short, she didn't believe him and started looking all over the palace.
Luckily, the corridor was quite a narrow one and remained at a location which was rarely travelled to and most didn't even know that there was anything there.
Therefore, the elder in the end left empty-handed and wrote off the information she received as wrong.
It was from that day that along with pride and confidence which came from possessing a great treasure, the paranoid feelings also began taking over Zhu Zemin.
What if someone else learned of the treasure?
What if he lost his right hand and could no longer open the vault?
Out of such fear, Zhu Zemin killed everyone who knew about the corridor and even made changes to the vault.
Bearing with the greatest humiliation of his life, Zhu Zemin let two men look at the naked breasts of five of his women, and change the vault into adding a second way to open it.
Still, since he killed the two after their work was over, Zhu Zemin didn't think too much about what happened.
Entering the corridor and killing the two guards who were guarding the vault, Zhu Zemin pressed the hidden mechanism which revealed the hidden vault.
It was also at this moment that a voice sounded from behind Zhu Zemin.
"Go on, we want to see what is inside the vault as well."
Turning around in flash, Zhu Zemin saw nine unfamiliar men standing at the entrance of the corridor. All of them were in the Martial General Realm.
Once he was sure of this, Zhu Zemin almost rushed over and slapped each of them to death. But managed to stop in the last second because that seemed too simple.
After all, from their words it sounded as if they were waiting for him. And if they were, they probably had a lot of preparations made.
"Who are you?"
In response to Zhu Zemin's question, the nine men spoke together and said, "WE ARE YOUR DEATH!!!"
Frowning from not being able to understand where their confidence came from, Zhu Zemin tried his best to see if there was anyone here who gave them so much confidence in winning.
"Don't think so much Zhu Zemin, we are more than enough to kill you!"
"But, let's talk for a while before we get started with fighting, shall we?"
All of this was so that Bai Long could buy himself some time, while the tenth Yin Puppet helped Bai Long's ten Clones of Darkness over the wall and all the way here.
'Is all their confidence fake? Are they trying to buy time for the real expert to come here? No! What if this is a trap to lure me outside the corridor? I need to wait and see.'
Taking Zhu Zemin's silence as consent, Bai Long continued speaking through the Yin Puppet.
"I want to know how shameless and without spine a man should be to let others see his women naked. I mean, you have quite some experience in it don't you?"
Being hit on his sore spot, Zhu Zemin gritted his teeth while feeling even more sure that they were trying to lure him outside.
'Are they afraid of the corridor collapsing if we fought here?'
Smirking from thinking that he had realized their plans, Zhu Zemin no longer paid any attention towards their words no matter how degrading and demeaning they were.
What the fool didn't know however was that Bai Long wanted him to stay inside the corridor, because only then could he use ten Yin Puppets who were in the Martial General Realm, and the ten clones of his who had no cultivation to defeat Zhu Zemin.
Especially since Bai Long already knew of Zhu Zemin's weakness.
As it turns out, due to being stabbed in the back by his enemies, there was a hidden injury which kept Zhu Zemin from turning his upper body and arms behind himself.
Due to this, Zhu Zemin would have to turn his whole body around by using his legs, or not move at all.
And since the weapon he used was a pretty long spear, as long as Bai Long pressured him from the forward Zhu Zemin would not have any chance to turn around.
Furthermore, since the corridor was quite narrow and weak, Zhu Zemin would have to hold his strength back unless he wanted it to collapse on him.
Because when that happened, even a Qi Child cultivator like Zhu Zemin would be either be cursed to death or end up dying from suffocation.
After all, no matter how strong be was, Zhu Zemin wasn't an immortal.
