The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 430- Let’s See If You Can Run Away This Time
Chapter 430: Chapter 430- Let’s See If You Can Run Away This Time
After introducing his father and the twelve Grand Elders, Dae-hyun took a step back.
The man on the throne seemed to sit up a bit straighter as he looked at Sol and smiled.
"So, you’re the Descending Heavenly Dragon of Jianghu? It’s an honor for my Jeagal Clan to have such a heavenly genius visit us. I’ve been told you have an Array Technique that belongs to my Clan, you can name any price, and my Jeagal Clan will pay the amount."
Those words from the Jeagal Clan Patriarch made it obvious to Sol that he was going to ignore the old man attacking him.
’Is he not aware of it, or is this his way of trying to appease me?’
Sol thought for a moment, but before he could say anything, Mar-Yue who was looking around suddenly snapped her head to look at the Jeagal Clan Patriarch with a frown.
"Do you intend to act as if one of the Grand Elders never attacked us? How can your face be so thick?"
The expressions of a few of the Grand Elders changed upon hearing Mar-Yue. The way she spoke seemed as if she didn’t realize the person she was speaking to was the Patriarch of the Jeagal Clan. It was extremely disrespectful.
However, the Patriarch didn’t get angry and instead said with sincerity.
"Princess Mar-Yue, on behalf of my Jeagal Clan I want to apologize for the Sixth Elder’s actions. As you can tell by now, the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array Technique is very important to our Jeagal Clan, so he acted a bit rashly. As a punishment, we’ve demoted him to an Outer Elder for fifty years as well as restricted thirty percent of his descendants’ cultivation resources for the next twenty years. In addition to us paying any amount of Aether Stones required for the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array, I also heard you’ll be selling some high-grade medicinal plants to my son. We can purchase them at five times the original market price. Princess Mar-Yue, will this be enough?"
Sol looked at the Patriarch of the Jeagal Clan and sighed inwardly at such methods.
His actions might not sound like much, but one could only imagine the number of descendants a Grand Elder has in a Clan like this.
It should be in the thousands, and some should be a significant portion of this generation’s talents. Limiting their cultivation resources by thirty percent for twenty years was no different from cutting off their future. It wouldn’t be a surprise if this Sixth Elder’s descendants declined to an almost irreparable state, and it might even go on to affect a few more generations down the line.
To be truthful this punishment was quite harsh since they weren’t injured in the attack. So, one would think Mar-Yue’s response to the Jeagal Clan Patriarch would be to nod, however, she instead became enraged.
"Demoted? Restricted resources? Your face is thicker than I thought for you to make up such ridiculous punishments for that old fart."
Despite Mar-Yue’s mocking words, the Jeagal Clan Patriarch still did not get angry. He also raised his hand to stop any of the Grand Elders by his side from speaking up. He looked at Mar-Yue and asked calmly.
"Princess Mar-Yue, since you’re not satisfied with my punishment what would you suggest?"
Mar-Yue snorted and suddenly stepped forward.
"Obviously death!"
With a flip of her palm, a massive black halberd appeared in Mar-Yue’s hand. After grabbing the two-meter-long shaft, the almost meter-wide blade at the end tipped over and fell onto the ground with a loud bang. Everyone felt the hall beneath their feet shake slightly.
With a glance, the Grande Elders recognized this halberd to be a peak Divine Weapon. Even for top Sects and Clans, this was a precious treasure. But what was this girl thinking of bringing it out?
"I don’t trust you people to chop his head off, so I’ll do it myself."
"Ridiculous!!"
"Preposterous!!"
Some of the Grand Elders couldn’t hold in their anger anymore and they erupted into a frenzy.
This was their Ancestral Hall, the most sacred area in their Clan. It was even said that their Clan’s Founding Patriarch built this hall himself and conceptualized his ambition to create their Jeagal Clan, which now had the strength to sweep through the entire Eastern Continent, while sitting on this throne. freēnovelkiss.com
This hall was their flesh and bones, their heart and soul. How can they possibly tolerate this little girl’s disregard for where she stood and be so disrespectful to the current Patriarch?
They simply could not and would not tolerate it!
However, despite the Grand Elders’ eruption of admonishment, Mar-Yue simply ignored them and locked her gaze on the Sixth Elder. She then began walking over to him.
The blade of the halberd scraped against the ground; sparks flew everywhere while a grating sound echoed out in the hall.
Despite the halberd’s weight and sharpness, it wasn’t able to leave a single mark on the tiles. They seemed to be made of a strange material that was harder than most Divine Weapons like Mar-Yue’s halberd.
Mar-Yue steps weren’t fast, she was slowly and calmly walking towards the throne. The Sixth Elder looked down from his elevated position at her with an expressionless face.
Did this girl truly believe she could act so overbearingly and do whatever she wanted when she was inside their Jeagal Clan? Did she think this was her Eternal Desert?
At this moment, the Jeagal Clan Patriarch’s eyes flickered in thought as he looked at Mar-Yue.
However, a moment later he looked away.
His actions stunned everyone in the hall, but soon, all the Grand Elders’ faces stiffened as if they had just been told something unbelievable. Their enraged gazes towards Mar-Yue were then replaced by alarm and soon horror.
At the same time, the Sixth Elder’s pupils constricted, and his face turned ashen as he looked at Mar-Yue approaching him.
Mar-Yue simply glared at him before a powerful force erupted from her body. Her clothes and shoulder-length hair to whip about. With the red aura around her, and halberd flashing with a dangerous glow she looked like a Warrior Goddess. Her bloodline suppression ability was activated to its limits, and a red light radiated for twenty meters around her.
Upon seeing this the Grand Elders next to the Sixth Elder wanted to say something to stop Mar-Yue, but a glance from the Jeagal Clan Patriarch made them give up on that idea.
Instead, they retreated away from the Sixth Elder.
Standing there alone facing this girl who was merely in the Earth Expanse Realm, the Sixth Elder’s expression was ugly, especially when he felt his cultivation slowly being suppressed by that red light surrounding her.
While radiating an overbearing aura, Mar-Yue looked at the Sixth Elder and said coldly.
"Let’s see if you can run away this time."
