Carrying the Profound Venerable, Zhou Qing arrived at a small island on Profound King Lake.
To be safe, Zhou Qing still performed a Soul Search on the Profound Venerable.
Although Zhou Qing had performed multiple Soul Searches on the Profound Venerable during his sixth simulation, leaving him intimately familiar with this Fourth-Tier Early Stage Beast King and everything about Profound King Island at this point in time.
This was reality, after all. There was nothing wrong with being a little more cautious.
The same went for ambushing an early-stage Beast King like the Profound Venerable.
He wanted to leave nothing to chance.
A moment later.
The Profound Venerable slowly regained consciousness and saw a figure standing nearby, his back turned.
What bitter luck...
Bitterness welled up inside the Profound Venerable.
Before losing consciousness, the Profound Venerable had felt its divine soul defenses crushed like flimsy paper. It had immediately known that its attacker must be a Fourth Tier Late Stage existence, most likely a Grand Cultivator of the Human Race.
A Fourth Tier Late Stage Beast King would not have used such methods. Besides, as a fellow demonic beast, the Profound Venerable would have sensed their approach in advance, even if it could not defeat them.
This was a particular ability it possessed as a Beast King.
"Senior..."
The Profound Venerable composed itself and hurriedly bowed respectfully to Zhou Qing.
Since it was still alive, it must be of some use. Under these circumstances, it naturally dared not defy him in any way.
"Take me down."
Zhou Qing turned, glanced at the Profound Venerable, and spoke in an indifferent tone.
Down... The Profound Venerable's heart tightened as it immediately understood what he meant.
"All right..." The Profound Venerable sighed inwardly, knowing it could no longer hold on to the Grotto-Heaven
