The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 422- The Depths Of The Jeagal Clan’s Strength

Chapter 422: Chapter 422- The Depths Of The Jeagal Clan’s Strength

Sol, Mar-Yue, and Woo-seong stepped out of a large building and were greeted by a crowd of youths from the Jeagal Clan.

They then followed Wei-sun as he led them in a certain direction.

Woo-seong looked around and upon seeing the bustling street, he realized they were already in the Main Branch of the Jeagal Clan.

After they had departed from the store, Wei-sun led them to the Jeagal Clan’s Branch in Martial Alliance City to take a teleportation formation.

Woo-seong was quite taken aback that they took such a teleportation formation that led directly into the Jeagal Clan’s Main Branch. Normally those types of teleportation formation were strictly guarded by the Jeagal Clan and outsiders weren’t allowed to use it.

Even ordinary members of the Jeagal Clan weren’t eligible to use it.

Because of this, Woo-seong couldn’t help but feel suspicious of what was going on. He then looked ahead at Wei-sun leading them, he noticed how hurried he was, and more doubt rose in his heart.

Woo-seong secretly sent out his Soul Energy to encapsulate Sol and Mar-Yue before sending a soul message.

’Brother Sol, something is wrong. Why is that bastard in such a hurry, is it because of the contents inside that storage bag you gave him? What was inside of it exactly?’

Sol also felt suspicious after seeing Wei-sun’s behavior.

’When I was inside the Hundred Plants and Herbs dimension, I found their lost Runic Technique, the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array. I wanted to use it to get some Aether Stones out of the Jeagal Clan, but I might have underestimated its worth.’

Mar-Yue stopped looking around curiously to join in on the conversation.

’The Jeagal Clan’s Eight Trigrams Decryption Array is something even my Barbarian Race had desired. After brother gave it to father, father claimed it was indeed a peerless Runic Technique. It’s extremely effective in dispelling a myriad of Formations as well as deconstructing and stealing those Formations. However, its worth isn’t so high that our Barbarian Race desperately needs it, we still have our own methods.’

Mar-Yue’s explanation was clear. The Eight Trigrams Decryption Array was valuable, but not to the degree that it would compel Wei-sun to act like this.

’It looks like the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array has more significance to the Jeagal Clan than what’s shown on the surface. Thinking back on it, it’s strange as to why the knowledge of creating it was split between their Grand Elders.’

Sol said, and Mar-Yue as well as Woo-seong agreed.

However, Woo-seong’s expression suddenly turned solemn as he said.

’If this Array is so important to them, would they take action against us for it? With the pride of the Jeagal Clan, why would they stoop so low as to try and buy back a lost Technique from a junior?’

Sol thought about this issue as well. If the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array was indeed more valuable to the Jeagal Clan than ordinary, then nothing would stop them from forcibly taking it rather than bothering to purchase what was rightfully theirs.

After all, they were in the Main Branch of the Jeagal Clan.

’Brother Sol, I think it was a bad idea to come to the Jeagal Clan. Now that we know this Array is so important to them, they might really scheme against us.’

Sol remained silent for a moment then said.

’It’s fine. As long as the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array is in my hands, it doesn’t matter even if the Patriarch himself tried to snatch it from me.’

Sol wasn’t saying this due to his strength, but after analyzing the situation thoroughly, he concluded that he had higher ground in this exchange.

He was confident that not even a Heavenly Realm cultivator could forcefully enter his Heavenly Samsara Formation to retrieve the Eight Trigrams Decryption Array.

Thinking about his Heavenly Samsara Formation, Sol recalled Little Abdu. He smiled and added.

’Plus, it’s not like we’re completely defenseless by coming here, we have Little Abdu.’

Mar-Yue suddenly chimed in at this moment.

’You’re forgetting that you have me as well. If the Jeagal Clan really dares to act unscrupulous by forgoing trying to negotiate a purchase, then I’ll call my father over.’

Sol blinked upon hearing that. He had forgotten about his Father-in-law for a moment.

Mar-Du was among the strongest on the Eastern Continent, below the Leader of the Shaolin Sect. His only rivals were Sol’s uncle master Young-Hwa, the Namgung Clan’s Patriarch, Byeong-ho’s Master the Third Grand Elder, and the Miura Clan’s Patriarch.

The other Leaders of the Holy Sects and Great Clans weren’t his match. Thinking this, Sol had a bit more confidence going into this negotiation. However, that didn’t mean he would let his guard down.

He thought about his first meeting with Wei-sun and his methods, and it caused his eyes to narrow.

’I’ll have to be careful about their Arrays that targets the soul.’

Sol thought, but he wasn’t overly concerned for himself, but rather he was concerned about Mar-Yue and Woo-seong.

As Sol was thinking of a way to resolve this issue, they were led by Wei-sun from the bustling streets to the foot of a large mountain several hundred meters away.

The Jeagal Clan was separated into the Main Branch Family and the Side Branch Families.

Only the Main Branch Family and a few Side Branch Families were allowed to live within the Ancestral Grounds. The rest were relegated to the surrounding mountains. Over time, it could be said this place had become a large city.

In books, it was said that the Jeagal Clan’s territory spanned several hundred kilometers and encompassed hundreds of mountains. As one of the Great Clans and top power on the Eastern Continent as a whole, their cultivators were said to number in the thousands, and they were as common as the clouds in the sky.

Sol, Mar-Yue, and Woo-seong closely observed their surroundings as they recalled this information. However, up until now, they hadn’t seen a single expert above the Mortal Realm, which was strange.

There weren’t even any guards around.

However, they did sense a slightly oppressive aura from the sky.

Sol glanced up and his pupils became a darker shade of black.

’A Grand Formation.’

Using his Heavenly Eyes, Sol was able to see the barrier of a Grand Formation Array. Judging by its size, it likely covered the entire Jeagal Clan’s territory.

Sol thought that a Grand Formation Array that could cover hundreds of kilometers of space was extremely terrifying.

It was no wonder there were no guards about, this Grand Formation Array probably ensured there was peace in the Jeagal Clan without any direct intervention.

However, the wealth and resources needed to create this powerful Formation Array should be astronomical. It might even bankrupt any other Sect or Clan.

Sol’s heart grew slightly cold.

This was merely the surface, but from this, Sol got a glimpse of the depths of the Jeagal Clan’s strength. The other Great Clans’ power should not be lower than this either.

"Brother Sol, this is one of my Jeagal Clan’s Ancestral Mountains. We don’t usually have guests outside our Clan enter this area, but Brother Sol is an exception."

There was a long staircase that led up the mountain in front of them. Wei-sun was just about to turn and walk up the steps, but he suddenly paused before turning around to add.

"By the way Brother Sol, there is an Ancient Formation surrounding our Ancestral Grounds. It is something created by the ancestors of my Jeagal Clan to protect the main bloodline of the Clan. It’s able to detect whether one is a member of my Jeagal Clan or not, and it can even unleash power equivalent to an existence in the Heavenly Realm."

Sol’s heart skipped a beat at that, and his gaze on the mountain became more focused.

At the same time, Wei-sun warned.

"There wouldn’t be a problem for Brother Sol, Miss Yue, and Brother Woo-seong to go up as long as I’m here, but the scan is inevitable and extremely invasive. This is one reason why no one likes to visit our Jeagal Clan even when invited."
