Just as Jianchen reached the mouth of the well, a white object suddenly shot out from the window of the second floor of the restaurant, directly towards Jianchen.
Jianchen stabbed the white object with his sword. Immediately, a large amount of white powder erupted from the white object, instantly enveloping Jianchen.
However, Jianchen wasn't worried at all. He allowed the white powder to touch his body. His body was immune to poison. Although it hadn't reached perfection, he was immune to most poisons in the world.
Jianchen directly punched the stone slab covering the mouth of the well. With a boom, the palm-thick stone slab was directly smashed into pieces by Jianchen, revealing the dark mouth of the well. Then, without any hesitation, Jianchen immediately jumped in.
In the back courtyard of the restaurant, people continuously flew in from all directions. In the end, they all gathered at the mouth of the well. There were a total of 28 people.
Of the 30 or so Great Saint Masters that had surrounded Jianchen, there were only 28 people left.
Staring at the dark mouth of the well, a black-robed old man said in a deep voice, "What a cunning fellow. He actually jumped into the well. What should we do now?" Staring at the dark mouth of the well, a black-robed old man said with an extremely ugly expression.
"All the wells in Phoenix Sun City are connected. There are tens of thousands of wells in Phoenix Sun City that are connected to a huge reservoir below. He can definitely escape to any place in Phoenix Sun City through this well." A bare-chested, dark-skinned man said in a deep voice. He belonged to the Heiming Clan, a local power of Phoenix Sun City. Thus, he was much more clear about the situation than the other powers.
"Then what should we do now? Should we chase down this well?" An old man muttered to himself. He couldn't make up his mind.
"I don't think so. Although Wu Yun only has the strength of a Great Saint Master, I believe that everyone has seen his battle strength with their own eyes. On the ground, even if two or three of us worked together, we still wouldn't be his opponent. If we enter the water, not only will our movements be greatly hindered, our vision will also be greatly affected. If we chase down this well, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to catch him, we will also lose a lot of people." The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. He wore a luxurious white robe with golden edges. His entire body emitted a noble aura.
An old man with an aquiline nose sighed heavily and said with a bit of unwillingness, "Don't tell me that we are going to let him escape just like that? The battle skill he has is definitely an extremely profound one. It can actually allow a Great Saint Master's speed to reach such a high level. Even with so many of us working together, we still can't catch him."
"That's right, it's rare to meet such a weak person with a battle skill. For us, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We definitely can't let it go so easily. At most, after we obtain the battle skill, we can all comprehend the mysteries within it. This way, it will be beneficial for all of us. Finally, those two fifth step monster cores, although they are also very precious, compared to the battle skill, they are far too lacking. Those profound battle skills are not something that can be bought with money alone." A middle-aged man wearing a white robe said. This person was a member of the Mu Da Family.
"That's right, we can't easily give up on this battle skill. However, Wu Yun has already jumped into the well. Through this well, he can reach any place in Phoenix Sun City. Phoenix Sun City is so big, it's not that easy for us to find a single person in the boundless sea of people. I think, we should take advantage of the fact that he hasn't escaped far and quickly chase after him."
"The situation at the bottom of the well is unclear. Furthermore, it's dark, who knows where Wu Yun is hiding right now, waiting for us to take the bait. This is too dangerous …"
A group of people started to discuss spiritedly. Regarding this battle skill, everyone's hearts were filled with jealousy. They were determined to obtain it, but everyone was greedy for life and afraid of death. They were all worried that they would encounter something bad in the well. After all, none of them were fools. They all knew one thing, although a battle skill was precious, if they were to lose their lives, then no matter how profound the battle skill was, they wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, an old man wearing a linen robe revealed a smile on his face. He slowly raised his left hand and a small snake with the thickness of a finger came out from his sleeve. The old man stretched out his hand and gently stroked the small snake's head. He slowly said, "Everyone, don't worry, Wu Yun won't be able to escape." His tone was filled with confidence.
The entire underground of Phoenix Sun City was a natural reservoir. It was connected to all the wells in Phoenix Sun City, providing the entire city with water.
At this moment, in the underground reservoir, a figure was nimbly shuttling back and forth like a fish. It was Jianchen who had jumped into the well in the backyard of the restaurant.
Because he was underground, the surrounding space was completely dark. Adding the water blocking his vision, he couldn't even see his five fingers if he stretched out his hand.
Jianchen followed the map in his mind and quickly swam in a certain direction. Although it was so dark that he couldn't even see his five fingers, Jianchen relied on his powerful spirit to faintly sense a radius of one zhang.
After staying in Phoenix Sun City for the past few days, Jianchen had also explored the environment of Phoenix Sun City. This kind of escape method was something that Jianchen had planned long ago. Once he fell into a desperate situation where he couldn't escape, he would use the method of jumping into a well to escape. Through this underground reservoir that was connected to all the wells in Phoenix Sun City, he could reach any place in Phoenix Sun City that had a well.
With Jianchen's current strength as a High Level Saint Master, holding his breath for a long period of time was as simple as eating a meal for him. Even if he stayed in the water for a few hours without breathing, there wouldn't be any problems.
Jianchen swam in the underground reservoir for six hours. When he was about twenty kilometers away from his previous location, he swam upwards. After searching for a while, he finally found a two meter wide tunnel and rushed out of the water.
As soon as his head came out of the water, Jianchen took in large mouthfuls of fresh air. After six hours of holding his breath, even Jianchen felt a bit tired. After catching his breath, Jianchen slammed his palms against the water and shot towards the well like a cannonball.
Somersaulting in the air, Jianchen landed next to the crystal. He didn't even have time to wipe off the water that was dripping from his hair as he carefully looked around.
This was a small courtyard. Not far away, there were a few clothes that had been washed and dried. The surrounding area was empty, and there wasn't a single person in sight.
"Good thing there's no one here. From the looks of it, this should be the backyard of a small family." Jianchen combed his wet hair and used the Light Wind Sword to remove all of it, leaving only a few inches of hair.
"I wonder what the situation outside is like. I'm afraid that the local powers have already sent a large number of people to look for me. This place isn't too far from the restaurant, so I should leave this place immediately." Jianchen immediately began to dress up. His previous appearance had already been washed clean by the water in the underground reservoir, so at this moment, he had returned to his original appearance. His head of wet hair, coupled with his handsome face, gave him a unique charm.
Jianchen didn't hesitate and circulated his Saint Qi to dry the water on his body. He immediately took out a set of clothes from his spatial belt and changed into them. As for the wounds on his body, he didn't have the time to treat them, so he wrapped them up with a few strips of cloth. After all, this was someone else's backyard. Who knew when the owner would return? If the owner found out that there was a stranger in their backyard, it would definitely cause some trouble.
Thus, it wasn't wise to stay here for long. The sooner he left, the better.
Only after completing all his preparations and confirming that he had not missed anything did Jian Chen leave the courtyard. After passing through a few small alleys, he finally arrived on a crowded street. After identifying the location, he continued to make his way to the city gates at a steady pace.
