Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1767

Chapter 1767 A Chance of Redemption

After putting away Number One Under Heaven, Yuan continued walking toward the exit.

Seeing this, the handsome man snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Halt!"

However, Yuan kept on walking, and he spoke as he walked, "Who do you think you are to stop me from leaving? You already said my treasures are not worth the Metal Tower's attention, so why would I continue wasting time here? Let's not waste each other's time."

The handsome man trembled with anger, but he couldn't bring himself to utter another word. Saying anything further would be tantamount to admitting his own fault and misjudgment.

Therefore, the handsome man and the others could only watch as Yuan nonchalantly left the Metal Tower.

"He actually left…" the man who had been stationed next to Yuan muttered in a dazed tone, his face frozen in a dumbfounded expression.

A few moments after Yuan departed from the Metal Tower, before the handsome man and the others could fully process what had just occurred, another figure appeared. It was an old man with a bald head, dressed in an outfit similar to the one worn by the handsome man.

"That presence just now! Where is it?! Where did it go?!" the old man bellowed, his voice commanding and urgent, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.

"S-Senior Liao! What brings you down here?" the handsome man exclaimed, a look of genuine surprise spreading across his face as he caught sight of the old man.

However, the old man, Senior Liao, ignored his question and asked again, "The presence that appeared just now! Where did it go?! Where is the treasure that emitted such presence?!"

"T-that's…" the handsome man stammered, swallowing nervously as he hesitated, unsure whether to reveal the truth.

"What are you hiding from me, Apprentice Huan?" Senior Liao frowned.

The handsome man sighed and said, "I wouldn't dare, Senior Liao. This is what happened…"

He recounted the events to Senior Liao, detailing everything that had occurred. However, he carefully omitted certain details—most notably, the reason Yuan had decided to leave.

Unfortunately for him, Senior Liao was not something easily fooled. He narrowed his eyes at Apprentice Huan and said in a cold voice, "Apprentice Huan, I accepted you because of your potential, but I am beginning to doubt my own judgment. I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. Bring that person you chased away back to the Metal Tower. If you cannot do even that, you no longer need to return to the Metal Tower."

"S-Senior Liao?!" Apprentice Huan's face contorted in despair, his expression twisting into something almost unrecognizable.

Having only joined the Metal Tower a decade ago, if he were kicked out over something as seemingly trivial as this, he'd become a laughingstock among his peers and ruin his reputation entirely.

"I will not repeat myself. You have one month to bring him back." Senior Liao turned around and walked away, leaving Apprentice Huan and the others speechless.

Snapping out of his daze a moment later, Apprentice Huan turned toward the exit of the tower. Without hesitation, he rushed outside, determined to find Yuan and convince him to return to the Metal Tower.

Although it hadn't been long since Yuan left the Metal Tower, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
