Chapter 1163  Unexpected

They were selling deep sea items, though the usefulness of those items was questionable. After years of practicing with his Glyph that could identify treasures, Lex had developed an innate understanding for the value of random objects, and he could tell that nothing they sold was particularly precious.

Lex used a simple illusion technique to alter the appearance of his face before teleporting down to the booth.

"Excuse me ladies," Lex said warmly, "could you possibly point me towards the continent? I\'m a little lost."

The mermaids looked at him, then looked down at their booth. The meaning was simple. Buy something before asking them any questions.

Lex gave the items a cursory glance and picked up the most valuable thing on the table, a necklace with a pearl at the end.

"How much for this?"

"You have a good eye. That\'s for 30 superior spirit stones. No bargaining."

Superior spirit stones were just a type of spirit stones with a higher concentration of spirit energy. They were very widely used by rich cultivators below the immortal realm.

Fortunately Lex had a few thousand lying around in his spatial bangle. He ordinarily didn\'t bother with these kinds of spirit stones since he directly dealt with spirit crystals, which is what immortals used for cultivation.

But even having that was just as a random form of currency for Lex. He\'d always cultivated in energy rich and dense areas, so he\'d never actually used those stones to cultivate.

"Can you tell me which way the continent is now?"

Lex could have technically asked the sailors as well, but considering the fact that they were drooling over the wares the mermaids were showing, Lex didn\'t know how cooperative they would be.

"It\'s quite simple. We\'re very close to land actually. You need only travel 8000 miles north, give or take, and you\'ll find it."

"Thanks. By the way, you wouldn\'t happen to know anything about the William family, would you?"

The mermaids once again looked at their wares.

Lex just put down a spirit crystal and grabbed everything on the booth, which made the mermaid\'s eyes gleam. The sailors also glared at Lex, but they simply grumbled and turned back towards their ship.

"Yes, yes, the William family has been operating on this planet for many years. Even some of the mermaids and mermen have married into their family. Though recently, a lot more of them have come here. No one knows why, but they\'re all excited about it. The arrival of such a noble family can only be good for the local economy."

The mermaids, besides focusing a lot on money and economy, didn\'t really stand out in any way. They didn\'t try to scam him using their charm, nor did they try any funny business.

After asking them a few more questions to get a better understanding of the Williams family and their role on this planet, Lex left.

It seemed that the locals did not know that the family were down on their luck lately. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Finding the continent barely took any time since he directly teleported 8000 miles north, and was able to spot it.

Lex finally slowed down upon finding a town, and instead of searching for answers in a rush, walked through the town at a casual pace. With his spirit sense extended, he could easily absorb a lot of information around him.

He did not expect that he could just go up and ask to see the head of the family, nor did he want to reveal his identity till he was sure of Belle\'s state. Soon he learned of the details of the new city that the Williams family had built which would function as their base of operations.

One teleport later, he found himself in the city. Lex actually felt slightly nervous upon thinking that he was about to meet Belle. From the moment he decided to meet her again, he had been visualizing their reunion. It had to be perfect.

Owing to the number of immortals in this city he could not just flagrantly blare his spirit sense again, so it actually took him some effort to learn where exactly the family head was supposed to be.

Lex was already fantasizing about how he would infiltrate into a secure compound, sneak past all the security undetected and finally discover the truth about his sister, when he learned some news that gave him pause.

Just a few hours ago, in fact probably only a couple of hours before Lex arrived on the planet, Belle had declared that she was giving up her position as family head! That news came as a shock to everyone, especially since everyone knew that she had been aiming for that position for so long.

Now, not only had she finally achieved it, but she claimed it completely through her own merit and ended up saving a lot of lives in the process.

No one knew what she was thinking. She just gave up the position, declared the next family head, and left the planet. No one knew where she was going or what her intentions were.

The news left Lex dumbfounded. He had even gone as far as to try to build a connection to Pangaea to the Inn so that his future travel to this planet would be easier, since if Belle was normal, he might want to come here to see her regularly.

But she had just gotten up and left.

A wave of denial hit Lex. No, how could he give up? This could be just a ruse. He had to sneak into the family mansion like a spy and find out the details.
