For the next few days, the senior King-level Alchemists of the Pill Institute wore long faces, sighing day in and day out.
They sent out more Pill Institute disciples in waves. A few King-level Alchemists even went personally to the eighth floor of the Saint Extreme Tower to find Chu Qingyun.
But it was all for nothing. There was no response whatsoever from the cultivation room.
They didn't dare break down the door, so they could only wait for a while before leaving.
On top of that, Elders from the Inner Sect had also visited many times over the past few days.
Although they were mostly there to find Qi Hao and Deng Xuan to ask about the Venerable's corpse in the Blood Sect ruins, their presence still put immense, unspoken pressure on the Pill Institute's King-level Alchemists.
They had learned from the Inner Sect Elders that the matter of Venerable Thousand Blood's corpse had already attracted the attention of the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders of the Martial Sect.
