Chapter 1012 Aura Suppression

Chapter 1012 Aura Suppression　　As Leon ventured deeper into the jungle with Rainshine and the Golden Suanni, they encountered many jungle beasts along the way.

However, unlike the time when it was just Leon and Rainshine, the beasts did not attack them.

They were all deterred by Cindertail and his family's presence.

"Are we still inside your territory, Cindertail?" Leon casually asked as he watched the pack of gorillas fleeing the area.

"Definitely not, Master. We should have left my territory some time ago," Cindertail answered.

"Hoh? I see," Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Your kind are truly all kings of the jungle. Even when we are outside of your territory, your presence can still deter the beasts of other ruling golden suanni's beast kingdom. I'm impressed."

"Your kind words are wasted on me, Master," Cindertail said humbly before adding, "The beasts just can't differentiate their rulers apart. It's common for the beasts to mistake other visiting adult golden suannis as their lords."

As they ventured deeper into the jungle, Leon watched the beasts either flee or lower their heads submissively as Cindertail passed them.

After traveling another few miles, Leon suddenly noticed changes in the beasts' movements. They were gathering and appeared coordinated.

Before long, Leon's part found their path obstructed by another group of golden suannis being led by a Paragon-level Golden Suanni.

"Cindertail! Just where do you think you're heading? Do you think this Lord's territory is a place you can just pass through without dropping by this Lord's lair to pay your respects to this Lord?" the Paragon-level Golden Suanni spoke oppressively.

"If it weren't for this Lord's subjects informing this Lord of the disturbance in this Lord's territory, this Lord wouldn't have known you were passing through this Lord's territory. Do you still have this Lord in your eyes?!"

As the Paragon-level Golden Suanni spoke, it exerted its dominance by releasing its powerful aura that contained both a lion and a dragon's aura.

The Golden Suanni Race was a mighty hybrid race with lion and dragon ancestry.

Nevertheless, their forms were closer to that of lions.

Rao!

The cubs on Cindertail and the lionesses' backs cried in pain as they suffered under the Paragon-level Golden Suanni's oppressive aura.

Cindertail quickly frowned.

In the next instance, Cindertail released his own mighty Paragon-level aura to counteract the Paragon-level Golden Suanni's aura and ease his children's suffering.

However, Cindertail's aura didn't just counteract the Paragon-level Golden Suanni's aura; it overwhelmed it.

"I might have been impolite for not visiting you while passing through your territory, but if you continue to use your aura on my young, I will not be polite, Goldmane!" Cindertail said grimly.

The Paragon-level Golden Suanni named Goldmane was quickly astonished by Cindertail's Paragon-level aura.

At the same time, the other golden suannis behind Goldmane wore difficult expressions.

Cindertail's Paragon-level aura had a certain depth that made it even superior to Goldmane's Paragon-level aura, even though they roughly had the same strength.

That made Goldman even more astonished.

"You've ascended… But what is this aura…? How can your aura be superior to this Lord's when you've only just ascended? Just what sort of fortuitous encounter did you experience? How can you improve so quickly?!"

Goldmane's astonishment quickly turned into shock.

"I have no interest in satisfying your curiosity, nor am I obligated to pay you any respect now that we are at the same level. Now, if you excuse me, I am still in the middle of escorting my master to the main territory," Cindertail said coldly.

"Your master…?!"

Goldmane quickly shifted his gaze to Leon before glaring back at Cindertail.

"Are you out of your mind, Cindertail?! How dare you, a Paragon of our noble clan, take a mere human as your master! You're an embarrassment to every Paragon in the clan! Someone like you shouldn't step foot in our clan's main territory!"

"Hmph, words of the ignorant," Cindertail snorted disdainfully before turning to Leon.

"Master, Goldmane is looking down on you too much. Someone like him doesn't deserve to serve you, nor should he enjoy any of your cooking and blood refinement sessions."

"Furthermore, he is just an Early Paragon like me. The true leaders of our clan are all Peak Paragons, at the very least. Don't waste your time on him, Master. If you can gain the allegiance of the Peak Paragons in our main territory, you will automatically gain control of the entire Golden Suanni Clan."

"We should just continue on our way there, Master," Cindertail suggested.

Leon agreed with a nod.

What Cindertail made a lot of sense.

Nevertheless, Leon was surprised to hear that a clan with so many Paragons would not even have a single Half-step Divine Beast.

As Leon's group made a detour around Goldmane, Rainshine swept her cold gaze past Goldmane without a word.

This golden suanni does not know what it was missing out on.

At the same time, Goldmane caught Rainshine's gaze as they were passing. He immediately frowned at their departure when he didn't permit them to leave.

Goldmane quickly moved to obstruct their path again.

"Didn't you hear what I said, Cindertail? An embarrassment like you doesn't have the qualification to set foot in our clan's main territory. Take your human master and get lost from these lands! You're not welcome here!" Goldmane barked.

Cindertail's gaze immediately flashed with gloominess.

"Master, let me teach this bastard a lesson for obstructing our path and wasting your time," Cindertail requested.

However, Leon shook his head and said, "Even if you experienced a partial bloodline awakening, your strength is still roughly the same. It'll take too long for you to beat him. Stand down. I will handle this."

"You will handle this? Did this Lord hear that correctly? What can a mere human do to this—"

Before Goldmane could finish speaking, he immediately felt the almighty dragon aura gushing out of Leon's body.

The dragon aura generated by Leon's Peak Rank 9 Body Transformation-level dragon viscera was so powerful that it overwhelmed Goldmane and made his entire body freeze in fear.

Goldmane had the illusion that he was facing one of the top leaders of his clan.

"Move aside," Leon calmly said.

Goldmane subconsciously obeyed as if Leon's words were the mandates of heaven. Goldmane retreated with his head lowered, not daring to look at Leon directly.

Goldmane felt unworthy and insignificant to be in the presence of such majesty and grand aura.
