Chapter 786 — Chapter 786 Reactions I

William Sephore, the founder of the Williams family, was sitting with his legs folded behind him in the middle of a complicated formation. Incense sticks slowly wafted out smoke as the glowing ember on the tip slowly traveled down, leaving a trail of ash.

Items containing immense power were placed on the borders of the formation at a fixed interval, waiting to be utilized. Nine hundred and ninety nine Earth Immortals were softly chanting in the distance, feeding their focused energy into a single white rose that was planted in an urn full of soil.

The ground beneath them rumbled, as if the planet itself was coordinating with the ritual about to take place.

Yet instead of mentally preparing himself to be finally rid of that which was sealed within him, William was looking at a recording of a young human sitting atop a dragon. William had long known about Lex, not in the least because of his friend Larry who had confused William for Lex once.

He then looked into the family and had long known that there was definitely something off about this group of descendants of his. But up until recently it was not worth more than a moment's thought for him.

The elder sister, Belle, had a very bad attitude and wanted to become the family head, but at least she was extremely competent. In fact, the very ritual he was about to partake in was a result of her actions. Then there was her mysterious father who put inscriptions inside her body that could literally draw blood from a Celestial level cultivator.

Just that act alone meant that he had the strength to kill William. It was no joke. How could someone achieve such a level of strength so silently? How had he remained undetected for so long?

But now, topping all of them, was this Lex who climbed the face of a living dragon!

"So… another one of your descendants?" asked Batu Togoldor, looking at his brother weirdly.

"Do you need to ask?" William asked, annoyed. "But you cannot tell through divination or anything else. In fact, his name on the family book was also erased. Someone has gone through a lot of effort to hide Lex. My guess is his father."

"How do you think he forced the dragon to sit still?" asked Batu, completely ignoring everything else he said.

"Do you know who that is?" William asked, his voice sounding a little forced. "That's Pelvailin Ur Bahatna Gorgin, the patriarch of the Bahatna Gorgin line of dragons! Whatever is going on in that video, I doubt Lex had any hand in forcing it still. Most likely, he just encountered the dragon as such and took advantage of the opportunity."

"It's not cool to be jealous of your own descendant William. Stop trying to diminish his achievement."

"That's not what I-"

"Do you think he's married?" Jotun asked, disregarding Williams' complaints.

"Jotun you're related to him, your daughter cannot marry him! Stop trying to collect sons-in-law!"

"They're over a 1000 generations apart. I think by now the blood relation hardly counts," Jotun said as he looked at Lex sitting atop the dragon.

"On second thought, I doubt someone like that is single. He reminds me of my youth."

"Even you've never sat on a dragon!"

The brothers continued to bicker amongst themselves, but the one thing that remained constant was that their focus remained on Lex. In fact, they had even summoned Damian, Lex's grandfather. Once the ritual was over, they were going to start looking into Lex and his family a little more thoroughly.

Elsewhere in the Origin realm, a devastatingly beautiful, yet mature looking woman studied Lex's reflection. She was Zuri Adisa, the clover that had evolved into one of the strongest beings in the realm. Since she had a clone inside the Inn, she recognized Lex immediately. A flash of interest passed through her cleaning eyes.

Somewhere else, Loretta, the daughter of Ballom, was reading up on Lex. A number of her subordinates had seen him at the Midnight Inn. He was a good candidate to involve in their plans.

Gisele, who was boarding a plane off of X-142 after teleporting there from the Inn, could not help but think of Lex. She had not revealed any information about him to anyone, and honestly never thought she would ever even see him again. Who even knew if he had even made it off Polebitvy in time? But no matter what, she did not expect to see him so soon, and in such a spectacular fashion.

It was good to know he was alive, but she was not enamored by his achievement. Her thoughts always focused on the trials before her. They were not few, and they were not easy. For the briefest of moments, she wondered if her task would be somewhat easier if Lex was there to help her. But the thought came and went, like a leaf in the wind.

Belle, Lex's dominating older sister, watched his recording for the hundredth time in silence. She had been rewarded heavily by the Daolord since in forcefully having her use her bloodline power, he injured her greatly. She had felt a small bit of pride at that, though her character would not allow her to dwell on such a thing for too long. But when she saw Lex's recording, a part of her brain froze. Did someone like that even need protection from the William family? Or were the ones he was being hidden from the William family to begin with? What part of Lex looked like he needed protection? Her little brother… had grown up.

In a castle situated on the tip of a white cliff, surrounded by a flowing river that eventually turned into a waterfall, a noble figure was lazing in her royal chamber. While randomly scrolling through the portal, she suddenly saw a figure she recognized, and was startled.

"Big brother Lex?"

With genuine surprise and shock, Moon watched her brother's video. She hadn't seen anyone from her family in many years now.
