According to the memories retrieved, half a month after the two parted ways, the city lord's mansion suddenly ordered a search for Lu Chen's whereabouts.
However, at that time, Lu Chen was cultivating day and night in that secluded mountain villa outside the city.
Therefore, Lu Chen was completely unaware of this matter at this time.
The city lord's mansion searched the entire city but could not find any trace of Lu Chen. Finally, they found some clues: when Lu Chen disappeared, there was a woman with him.
The woman left Qinglong City ahead of time, and Lu Chen followed closely behind.
Their relationship was ambiguous, and afterwards, Lu Chen simply disappeared, and they couldn't find him anywhere in the city.
Everyone guessed that Lu Chen must have already left, otherwise he wouldn't have remained hidden for so long.
The Lord of Qinglong City has truly lost face this time. His newly recruited son-in-law has actually abandoned the marriage and run away with another woman.
The key issue is that this city-wide search has become common knowledge, making it impossible to hide now.
Having lost face, the city lord's mansion naturally wouldn't let it go and immediately issued a kill order.
As for whether Princess Nie Qing of the City Lord's Mansion played any negative role in this, that remains unknown.
Such private matters are impossible for outsiders to know.
"Come on, let the storm rage on!"
Lu Chen was not worried at all. His strength had now reached the ninth level of the Star Realm, making him a considerable expert on Red Moon Star.
The people the other side sent to hunt me down wouldn't be too tall, and I could handle them for the time being.
After quickly disposing of the three bodies, Lu Chen immediately left the area. He had a complete map of the area outside Qinglong City in his mind. After carefully recalling the scene, Lu Chen searched for his current location.
"Huachuanjiang and his men must have searched the area thoroughly. It should be heavily guarded, and it would be very dangerous to go there now."
"There's no point in going back to Qinglong City. Even if I cover my face, I'll still be recognized. So there's no point in going back."
"Leaving Qinglong City? Going to another city? It doesn't seem to make much sense, wouldn't that just confirm that I ran away from the wedding?"
Lu Chen was still somewhat unwilling, feeling that he had been misunderstood. Regardless of what others thought, Lu Chen still felt somewhat ashamed towards Nie Qing.
After all, it was indeed his own fault that led to this situation.
Regardless of what others think, Nie Qing is not wrong.
"Then the only place for both of us is outside Qinglong City. But it doesn't seem to be peaceful outside Qinglong City either."
Lu Chen was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to find an opportunity to resolve this conflict with Nie Qing face to face. Of course, it would be even better if he could salvage the situation.
If all else fails, it's better to talk things out face-to-face.
Outside Qinglong City, there were actually several bandit groups. Calling them bandits wouldn't be accurate; they were more like independent cultivators who had joined forces to form a relatively large criminal gang, specializing in robbery and other shady dealings.
These are people who eat people without spitting out the bones; they are ruthless and will wipe out an entire family at the slightest disagreement.
The city lord's mansion had also sent troops to exterminate them, but these places were often strategically located, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and filled with poisonous miasma.
Moreover, once the army arrives, these bandits will get wind of it long beforehand and scatter in all directions. Even if the army arrives, they will only destroy some buildings and will not be able to eradicate the bandits completely.
Over time, these bandit forces grew increasingly powerful, even recruiting some very skilled individuals, such as galaxy-level experts.
These galaxy-level powerhouses might be nothing outside of Red Moon Star, but they are still very powerful beings on Red Moon Star.
With the addition of these experts, these bandit forces should not be underestimated.
"It seems we need to change our approach. Since the city lord's mansion believes I ran away from my marriage, is it possible that I was forced into it? For example, was I kidnapped by bandits?"
Lu Chen suddenly had a brilliant idea.
That's right, starting today, he has decided to become a bandit.
"These three major bandit forces are Black Tiger Mountain, Snow Wolf Valley, and Seven Dragons Stronghold."
Lu Chen carefully recalled the situation of the three major bandit forces, and the details of their activities came to mind.
Black Tiger Mountain is undoubtedly the most powerful bandit force. Within the area where Black Tiger Mountain is located, there exists an extremely powerful spirit beast, which is rare in Red Moon Star.
Within the entire Black Tiger Mountain area, all the black tigers are spirit beasts, and even the weakest of them can reach the fifth level of the Star Realm.
It is precisely because of these spirit beasts that Black Tiger Mountain was able to rise to prominence. The leader of Black Tiger Mountain possesses a special method to tame these black tigers, which gives Black Tiger Mountain a tremendous advantage.
This is widely recognized as the most powerful bandit force outside Qinglong City.
Snow Wolf Valley is slightly inferior, but it also possesses the means to control spirit beasts. According to rumors, the leader of Snow Wolf Valley was once a member of Black Tiger Mountain. However, later, a conflict arose between the two sides, and the leader of Snow Wolf Valley left in a fit of anger to create another bandit force, which is Snow Wolf Valley.
Snow Wolf Valley ranks second and has always been at odds with Black Tiger Mountain, with various acts of mutual slaughter and even large-scale battles occurring frequently.
The hatred between them deepened and deepened until it became irreconcilable.
It was during this period that another bandit force rose to prominence. These people were unwilling to get involved in the conflict between Black Tiger Mountain and Snow Wolf Valley and become cannon fodder. Therefore, they had the most people, and this was the Seven Dragons Stronghold.
