Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Young Master Lu, we've arrived."

Bei Chenchuan's reminder came again in his ear.

The next moment, Lu Feng only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and then the surrounding environment suddenly opened up.

The place is picturesque with clear waters and lush vegetation, resembling a paradise on earth. Scattered throughout the mountains are dozens of suspended fortresses of varying sizes, all connected by iron chains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, a natural fortress!

"Is this the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyungang?"

Lu Feng also looked around at the ground beneath his feet, his expression slightly surprised.

At this moment, he finally understood why he hadn't been able to find any trace of the Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses after wandering around Yunxia Mountain for half a day. It turned out that the fortress was suspended in the air and was also hidden by a barrier outside!

If Bei Chenchuan hadn't broken the barrier, even if Lu Feng stayed in Yunxia Mountain for a long time, he wouldn't have been able to find the real Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses!

"Indeed, the selection of a son-in-law is about to begin. Please follow me, Young Master Lu."

Nodding slightly, Bei Chenchuan didn't waste any words and immediately stepped towards one of the suspended fortresses.

According to the ancestral rules and regulations set by the ancestors of the four major families, and in order to avoid internal strife, the territories of each family were specifically divided, and no family was allowed to embezzle or occupy more than their allotted territory.

However, as the leading family of the eighteen fortresses of Lianyun, the Beichen clan currently occupies almost half of the territory, with about nine floating fortresses belonging to the Beichen clan's territory.

As for the remaining nine floating fortresses, they were occupied by the Song family, the Xie family, and finally the Niu family, which is the origin of the once famous Lianyungang Eighteen Fortresses.

Before long, Lu Feng followed Bei Chenchuan to the entrance of a heavily guarded fortress.

"Hey, isn't this Ogawa?"

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the fortress, before Bei Chenchuan could make a move, a playful male laugh slowly came from above the fortress.

"Xiao Chuan, have you finished everything your father asked you to do?"

The next moment, a figure in brown robes descended from the sky, landing steadily and blocking Lu Feng and Bei Chenchuan at the entrance of the fortress.

"Brother Erlong?"

Seeing the newcomer's amused expression and smile, Bei Chenchuan was also taken aback for a moment, then looked surprised. "Brother Erlong, weren't you out on a mission? When did you get back without even letting me know...!"

Bei Chenchuan sounded excited and couldn't help but punch the brown-robed man on the shoulder, as if they had a very close relationship and were intimate friends.

"Hehe, well, that's a secret, of course..."

Bei Chen Erlong also grinned, then shifted his gaze to Lu Feng, who looked completely unfamiliar to him. "Xiao Chuan, may I ask who this gentleman is...?"

"Brother Erlong, this is Young Hero Lu Feng."

Faced with the questions from Bei Chen Erlong, Bei Chenchuan didn't keep them in suspense and immediately explained, "Although Young Hero Lu Feng comes from a humble background as a rogue cultivator, his strength is remarkable; he is an outstanding individual. As for Young Hero Lu Feng's visit to the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun, it's for the purpose of the son-in-law selection event..."

"I see. I've long admired Young Master Lu."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chen Erlong also raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes showing surprise.

After all, Lu Feng himself is only in his early twenties, yet his cultivation has already reached the ninth level of the Yuanhai Realm. Such a prodigy is enough to rank among the top five among the younger generation of the four major families, and he is indeed qualified to marry the eldest daughter of the Beichen Clan.

"Brother Erlong, Lu Feng really doesn't deserve such praise."

Lu Feng returned the greeting with a similar bow, remaining humble in his reply.

Although his personal strength has improved a lot during this period, and he is even not afraid of encountering experts at the third level of the Profound Gang Realm, he is still far inferior to Bei Chen Erlong in front of him!

Although the other party appeared kind and harmless, he always harbored a powerful aura no weaker than the eighth level of the Profound Gang Realm, making him many times stronger than Bei Chenchuan standing beside him!

In addition, as the leading clan of the eighteen fortresses of Lianyun, the Beichen clan must have more than just Beichen Erlong as its experts!

Therefore, Lu Feng didn't dare to show off too much right now, lest he cause himself unnecessary trouble!

"By the way, Xiao Chuan, what's the situation outside Yunxia Mountain?"

Seemingly remembering something, Bei Chen Erlong turned to look at Bei Chenchuan beside him.

As the captain of the guards of the Beichen clan, in addition to guarding the various fortresses of the Beichen clan, he would also occasionally lead people to patrol Yunxia Mountain outside the barrier, while inquiring about various situations.

However, since the Beichen clan's selection of a son-in-law is currently underway, and Beichen Chuan has volunteered, the two Beichen dragons have not interfered with the patrol duties these past few days, but have instead handed them all over to the former.

"Don't worry, Brother Erlong!"

He patted his chest confidently as well, saying, "Aside from a group of suitors who have come specifically to propose marriage, nothing much has happened outside Yunxia Mountain lately. Everything is normal...!"

"Besides, even if an enemy were to invade, they wouldn't be able to break through the hidden barrier my father set up back then. Everything will be alright...!"

"You've got a big heart, kid, but there's nothing wrong with that..."

Seeing Bei Chenchuan's confident assurance, Bei Chen Erlong, though somewhat helpless, did not deny it. He then said, "Alright, you two come with me. I'm sure today's selection of a son-in-law will be very lively..."

"Very lively?"

Lu Feng paused for a moment, a look of curiosity on his face.

However, Bei Chen Erlong did not give him a chance to speak. He turned around and stepped into the fortress, with Bei Chen following closely behind, seemingly also looking forward to the upcoming son-in-law selection ceremony.

Seeing this, Lu Feng didn't think much of it and followed suit.

...

Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses, territory of the Beichen clan, Qunyingtai (Heroes' Terrace)

The crowd below the stage was like a surging tide, bustling and noisy. Everywhere you looked, there was a dense, dark mass, almost completely filling the venue. It seemed that they were all martial artists from outside the Beichen Clan who had come to propose marriage.

Not only that, the crowd was buzzing with discussion, the atmosphere was electric, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the stage not far away, as if they were waiting for the appearance of some "big shot".

"Isn't the selection process for a husband starting yet? I can't wait...!"

"What's the rush, you idiot! With your pathetic skills, you're no match for the young lady of the Beichen clan. You might as well pack your bags and go home...!"

"Damn it! You son of a bitch, you can't say anything nice! I didn't have a chance to marry the eldest daughter of the Beichen clan, but you, you grandson of a bitch, have a chance?!"

"I've heard that the young lady of the Beichen clan is incredibly beautiful, with a stunning figure and impeccable temperament. I wonder which lucky guy will win her heart in the end...!"

The crowd around the stage continued to buzz with discussion, and Lu Feng, who arrived late, also narrowed his eyes, looking surprised. "Holy crap! The competition is this fierce?"

"Could it be that the young lady of the Beichen clan is truly a celestial being descended to earth?"

Looking at the vast, dark crowd of people proposing marriage all around him, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity. He secretly wondered, "What kind of magic does Bei Chenwan possess? How can she attract so many people to such a frenzy..."

After all, there were at least a thousand people gathered around the Heroes' Terrace to propose marriage, and so many people were there for Bei Chenwan, which was enough to show how beautiful she was, far beyond what ordinary women could compare to!
