"I see. Literal king of the hill then, I might have expected this. Thank you very much."
"Make sure you don't go anywhere but Tiger's Hill. Going to regions of this plane without permission is punishable by death. As a contestant, you have permission to go to Tiger's Hill, but nowhere else."
"No need to worry, I understand how foolish it would be to violate the grounds of Spiritual Beasts."
"Very well."
As I drew close to Tiger's Hill, I was surprised to see only 5 other cultivators. I didn't include Dong Fangyi in that, because he was at the very top, surrounded by Ice Golems, and thus I couldn't see him. Still, a lot more than 6 people had entered the gate with me, or even before me.
