Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"So this guy sees me as one of the potential suitors from outside the marriage market..."

Faced with Bei Chenchuan's encouragement, Lu Feng also raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but recall the scroll that Yao Guangxiao had given him in the past.

The scroll contained information about the marriage proposal of the eldest daughter of the Beichen family, the head of the four major families of the Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses.

However, compared to this matter, Lu Feng was more concerned about finding out the whereabouts of the two envoys of the Wusheng Sect and Lin Xiaoyu.

After all, the Beichen clan has always been conservative and xenophobic, and it is not easy for outsiders to integrate into the clan, let alone marry the eldest daughter of the Beichen clan, Beichen Wan. This matter will inevitably cause a lot of trouble and turmoil.

In addition, Lu Feng had also consulted some intelligence materials about the Beichen clan at the Baixiaoge Pavilion in Jinling City. He also learned that the Beichen clan had been experiencing a series of strange incidents and murders recently, and many of the clan's experts had disappeared without a trace, which was really very strange!

Therefore, Lu Feng had absolutely no interest in marrying the eldest daughter of the Beichen clan, nor would he dare to have any interest in marrying into the Beichen clan!

"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Beichen's kindness..."

Composing himself, Lu Feng cupped his hands again and said, "As for why I've set foot on Cloud Mist Mountain, it's not for any other reason than to inquire about some old friend. I hope Fellow Daoist Beichen will grant my request..."

"I'm sorry, but I cannot comply."

Before the former could finish speaking, Bei Chenchuan shook his head and interrupted him, saying in a calm tone, "As the leading clan of the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun, our Bei Chen clan must not only protect the safety of the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun, but also take the lead in abiding by the rules jointly established by the ancestors of the four great families in the past..."

"Therefore, our Beichen clan cannot easily allow any outside martial artist to set foot in the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun, unless..."

At this point, Bei Chenchuan paused deliberately, while giving Lu Feng a knowing look.

"Damn, this guy's got a pretty shrewd plan...!"

Lu Feng understood Bei Chenchuan's implication and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Clearly, unless he agrees to participate in the selection of a son-in-law right now, he will have absolutely no chance of setting foot in the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun, let alone inquiring about the whereabouts of the two envoys of the Wusheng Sect and Lin Xiaoyu!

As for Bei Chenchuan's intention in launching the sneak attack, it was quite obvious: to test his strength and whether he was qualified to participate in the selection of a son-in-law.

After all, the Beichen Clan is the leading clan of the eighteen fortresses of Lianyun, and Beichen Wan is the eldest daughter of the current Beichen Clan leader, Beichen Lie. Naturally, she cannot just find an ordinary person as her husband.

"In that case, I, Lu, will humbly accept your offer..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng no longer declined. He cupped his hands in a fist salute and said, "It just so happens that I, Lu, also wish to see for myself the legendary young lady of the Beichen Clan, just how beautiful and captivating she is..."

Although Lu Feng himself did not want to participate in any son-in-law selection event, nor did he want to become a live-in son-in-law of the Beichen family, he had no other choice now that things had come to this.

After all, he had spent most of the day wandering around Yunxia Mountain but still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Lianyun Eighteen Forts.

Even if Lu Feng were to kill Bei Chenchuan now, it would be futile. In fact, it might even attract the pursuit and retaliation of the Bei Chen clan, making it even more difficult for him to find out about Lin Xiaoyu!

"Hehe, Young Master Lu is indeed a clever man. Please follow me..."

Seeing that Lu Feng finally relented, Bei Chenchuan's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately stepped aside to make way for him.

As for why he strongly encouraged the other party to participate in the selection of a son-in-law, it was very simple: to help his older sister, Bei Chenwan, find a suitable husband and at the same time maintain the leadership position of the Bei Chen clan!

Because the leadership of the Beichen clan is not something that has been established since ancient times, but rather something that is based on strength and has many rules. At the same time, it also requires the recognition of the other three major families of the Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses. If any one of these conditions is missing, it will not work!

According to the rules set by the ancestors of the four major families of Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses, only men can inherit the position of clan leader. At the same time, if a family wants to compete for the position of leader, a male successor must be arranged. Otherwise, no matter how strong an individual is, it is not in compliance with the rules!

Coincidentally, the Beichen clan is now in decline, its glory days gone. Not only are its experts frequently disappearing and its talent pool dwindling, but even the only qualified heir is Beichen Wan, a woman.

Therefore, in order to maintain the leadership of the Beichen clan and suppress the restlessness of the other three major families, Beichen Lie, the clan leader, took the initiative to break with tradition and hold a marriage recruitment event to find a suitable son-in-law.

Although it is not easy to find a son-in-law who lives with the family, it is the only way for the Beichen clan to maintain their leadership position!

As for becoming the leading family of the Lianyun Eighteen Forts, there are also many benefits!

Not only can they occupy most of the resources of Lianyun Eighteen Forts and Yunxia Mountain, but they also have priority in handling all kinds of affairs, big and small. The other three major families basically cannot interfere and can only obey!

For this reason, both the clan leader Bei Chenlie and his youngest son Bei Chenchuan are very concerned about Bei Chenwan's marriage and even wish that she would get married as soon as possible!

"Young Master Lu, please stand firm."

Just as Lu Feng was pondering this, Bei Chenchuan reminded him again from the side.

Click...!

The next moment, Bei Chenchuan took out a strange, sky-blue pearl from his pocket, then clenched his fist and crushed it completely!

hum!

As the strange pearl shattered, an extremely powerful array aura spread outwards, covering an area of ​​over a thousand meters in just a few breaths, forming a self-contained barrier, which was quite amazing!

"Hidden Heaven Barrier, disperse...!"

With another loud shout, Bei Chenchuan raised his hand and slammed a palm strike at a strange stone pillar beside him.

Boom!

The next moment, the strange stone pillar suddenly cracked open and turned into dust. The other three strange stone pillars next to it were not spared either, and they all collapsed to the ground and disappeared!

As the strange stone pillars around them collapsed with a loud crash, a barrier gate more than two meters high slowly appeared before Lu Feng and the others.

"Young Master Lu, please."

The moment he saw the barrier gate open, Bei Chenchuan also withdrew his palms and stood up, then gestured to Lu Feng to "please come in".

"I never expected that an invisible barrier would be hidden here, and with such a powerful array aura, its grade is probably no weaker than a mid-level Heaven-grade array...!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "The Beichen Clan truly lives up to their reputation as the leading clan of the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun. Even their barrier, which is merely placed outwards to attract attention, is no weaker than a mid-grade Heavenly Rank array. They are indeed incredibly wealthy..."
