Chai Jiu froze for a moment, then suddenly understood.
Boom...
He abruptly unleashed the strongest barrier inherited from the Cang Vein at Jing Chuiguang and the other two.
And Chai Jiu himself... turned and ran!
Because Jing Chuiguang and the other two had been preparing to flee, the barrier they had set up was already open. Naturally, Chai Jiu could escape.
Why had he thrown up a barrier against the three of them? Why had he helped Sikong Jing?
Of course, if Jing Chuiguang and the other two escaped, then he, a non-Super Divine Martial cultivator, would be the only one left to be caught.
If that happened, he would be dead for sure.
At the same time, if Chai Jiu were dragged before Ling Dongwei, his chances of surviving would be slim.
Even if he lived, he would likely be worse off than dead, reduced to a slave.
As he had said before, failing to protect Ling Yusong was a capital crime in Ling Dongwei's eyes.
But now...
As long as Chai Jiu held Jing Chuiguang and the other two down for an instant, he could turn the whole situation around.
Then everyone's attention would be fixed on Jing Chuiguang and the other two. Who would care where a nobody like him had run off to? In short... if Chai Jiu wanted to live, he could only help Sikong Jing hold Jing Chuiguang and the other two to their deaths.
Though he was not a Super Divine Martial cultivator, he was a top-tier Divine Emperor.
And he was a top-tier Divine Emperor carrying the Cang Vein's inheritance. The instant he unleashed that barrier... Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jing Chuiguang and the other two were instantly blocked by the barrier.
Of course, they only needed a brief moment to break through
