Taiyinzi had been sold out by Nero before. Taiyinzi had been sold out by Nero before.
This old Daoist had once been quite skilled at cheating, swindling, and tricking people. Now, faced with Nero's sudden betrayal, his heart remained calm, but he looked utterly panicked.
"Master Musashi, you absolutely must not believe this girl's slander! My loyalty to the organization is as clear as the Sun-Moon can see! When I mentioned my master just now, I was merely wondering when I would finally get to meet the true master of Void Paradise Lost!"

"Master Musashi, this old man clearly isn't trustworthy. Why don't we execute him on the spot?" Nero fanned the flames at once. "Let me handle this little matter!"
As she spoke, without waiting for Taiyinzi or Musashi to react, Nero thrust a fork straight toward the back of Taiyinzi's neck.
There was a crisp clang.
Nero's hand gripping the fork was knocked aside by something... The fork flew from her hand. It was actually the foxtail grass Musashi had spat from his mouth.

Da Zhe, my good brother, you can use the inflatable fairy in my master Temple whenever you like!
Taiyinzi shuddered and called out, "Master Musashi is wise!"
Nero said pitifully, "But this old man looks exactly like the kind of rat who'll betray us at any moment! Master Musashi, I'm working with him, and I'm afraid he'll trick me sooner or
