CHAPTER 461 - CHAPTER 461
Hao Feiyu
Originally, the clan had already tacitly agreed that Lu Zimo would marry Li Sifan. The two clans had been connected for generations, and they were both ranked in the top ten in the South Demon Sea. This was originally a well-matched match, and it was a matter of course.
However, the last time Lv Zimo returned to the clan, she didn't eat or drink. Lv Gaofeng thought that there was a problem with her cultivation. In the end, it was Lv Zimo's mother who asked about the crux of the problem.
She was actually lovesick.
As one of the top ten forces in the South Demon Sea, the disciples of the Lu Family almost never had the chance to decide their own marriages.
Especially the women in the clan, they were important tools for the clan to stabilize its position and expand its influence.
The more outstanding a woman was, the easier it was for her to become a marriage partner.
And Lu Zimo could be considered an exception. At such a young age, she had already entered into Element Gathering Tier, becoming the number one genius of the clan. She was the daughter of the Clan Head, and was deeply loved by the Elder of the clan, so she still had some autonomy.
However, this autonomy was only a part of it. The family couldn't let Lu Zimo do whatever he wanted, but they still attached great importance to it.
However, after knowing that Lu Zimo's target of choice was Luo Zheng, Great Elder Lu Gaoye, who had always been in charge of the Lu Family's Chamber of Commerce, became the person who inspected Luo Zheng.
However, the results of the investigation did not satisfy the Lu Family. First of all, not only was Luo Zheng not from a major power in the South Demon Sea, he was only a Heavenly Leopard disciple of the Hundred Battles Dynasty, a Rank Four General with a humble background.
This point made the Lu family somewhat hesitant. Although Luo Zheng's martial arts talent was indeed extraordinary, his foundation was too weak.
Furthermore, Luo Zheng was a member of the Hundred Battles Dynasty, which meant that he was destined to leave the South Demon Sea sooner or later. Even if he had some accomplishments in the future, he would be far away in the Hundred Battles Dynasty, and it would be difficult for him to provide any substantial help to the Lu Family.
Therefore, the leaders of the Lu family vetoed this matter.
In the end, Lu Zimo refused to submit. She went to the Patriarch of the family who doted on her the most. After pestering him for a long time, the Patriarch of the Lu Family finally agreed to give Luo Zheng another test. As long as he could defeat all the competitors in the matchmaking convention, he would allow Lu Zimo to marry Luo Zheng.
In fact, the ancestor of the Lu family did not wish for his beloved granddaughter to marry far away, but he could not resist the pestering, so he agreed to this matter.
The Lu Clan felt that although Luo Zheng's strength was amazing, it was not enough to defeat the other geniuses on the South Demon Sea.
After all, the age range of the Lu Family's groom search this time was very wide. Martial artists under 40 years old could all participate.
There were almost no Origin Casting Realm martial artists under the age of forty, but there were many Origin Refining Realm martial artists.
"The strength that Luo Zheng has displayed is indeed not weak. If he really does not meet a match, wouldn't Zimo really have to marry this lad?"
Lv Gaofeng sighed.
Upon hearing that Luo Zheng had punched through Sun Minghu's inner armor without using any Yuan Qi, everyone from the Lu family began to worry.
"Hehe, Patriarch's worries are unnecessary. No matter how strong Luo Zheng is, he is only in the Natal Realm. How can he defeat someone in the Natal Realm? His physical body is strong. As long as he doesn't get close to you, he won't be able to do much."
However, Lv Gaozhi laughed.
He had seen Luo Zheng kill Sun Minghu with a single punch with his own eyes. Although he was shocked at the time, after thinking about it, he felt that Luo Zheng had only caught him off guard. Sun Minghu had also overestimated himself and did not use the inner armor's defensive power at all.
Therefore, in his opinion, although Luo Zheng was strong, he was only so-so.
"That's true. This time, Taoist Dragon Sword of the South Sea Sword Sect has also brought Hao Feiyu to our Lu Clan. If Hao Feiyu is interested in Zimo, I'm afraid no one will be his match."
Lv Gaoye nodded as well.
"Three years ago, Hao Feiyu opened his Divine Sea at the age of fifteen and reached the peak of the Origin Gathering Realm, taking the first place on the Genius Ranking. He has been cultivating in the South Sea Sword Sect for the past few years. He has probably already entered the Origin Gathering Realm! If our Lu Clan can form a marriage alliance with the South Sea Sword Sect, our strength will definitely improve! "
Another person in charge of the Lu Clan said.
The South Sea Sword Sect was the number one faction in the South Demon Sea. Its strength far surpassed any other faction.
The South Sea Sword Sect was located in the depths of the South Demon Sea, occupying millions of miles of sea territory. They owned countless islands and rarely came to the Black Dragon Island.
"That's right. Moreover, Li Sifan is not much weaker than Luo Zheng. He has always been in love with Zimo. It's said that this time, he has even lent the Heavenly Wood Sword, the artifact of the Li Clan's ancestor. The Heavenly Wood Sword is a supreme-grade artifact among mid-grade artifacts. Once this sword is used, no one will be able to compete with it."
Lv Gaozhi smiled faintly. He had a beloved concubine who was from the Li Clan. She was also on the Li Clan's side.
For the Lu Clan's matchmaking convention, as long as it was a clan or faction that had received an invitation, one person could participate in the competition.
The method was very simple. The winner of the competition would have the opportunity to marry Lu Zimo.
The competition was divided into three rounds. The first round was for the martial artists who had received an invitation from the affiliated islands to compete. The winners would enter the second round and compete with the martial artists from the subsidiary islands. Then, eight winners would be selected to enter the final round and compete with the martial artists who had received an invitation from the main island.
The first and second days were for the competitions of the affiliated islands and the subsidiary islands. Luo Zheng did not pay any attention to it. He only stayed in the small courtyard arranged by the Lu Clan to study formations and the art of refining artifacts.
In fact, Luo Zheng had already decided that he would not participate in the matchmaking convention.
He had already caused a misunderstanding with Lu Zimo. If he participated in the matchmaking convention, it would be even more difficult to explain.
The invitation from the Lu Clan only gave the qualifications to participate in the matchmaking convention. It did not mean that all the guests would participate in the matchmaking convention.
On the second day, the competitions of the subsidiary islands were completed. The eight winners of the subsidiary islands brought their families to the main island of the Sunshine Island.
That night, the Lu Clan held a grand banquet in the main hall of the inner mansion.
All the major factions of the South Demon Sea gathered together.
