Chapter 12813: Setting foot on the Southern Region Holy Mark Sect

"You're welcome." Qiu Shuikui waved her hand. "We are all family. It's only natural for us to help each other. If you can succeed, it will be my honor."

Ling Xiao nodded, his heart filled with gratitude and anticipation. He knew that this opportunity was crucial to him, not only could it help him solve his current problems, but it would also allow him to take a step further on his future path of cultivation.

……

Ling Xiao quietly left the Tianxiahui without alerting anyone except Qiu Shuikui. He knew his current situation was like walking on thin ice, and some people were secretly watching him and trying to kill him. Therefore, he chose to keep a low profile to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

A few days later, Ling Xiao finally arrived at the Holy Mark Sect. This sect is located in the center of the Southern Region, majestic and magnificent. The Holy Mark Sect is the largest and strongest sect in the Southern Region that focuses on the study of Holy Marks, and is known as the holy land of Holy Mark Masters.

Holy Mark Masters are not uncommon in the Southern Region. They are proficient in drawing various runes and formations, and can use these mysterious powers to enhance their own strength. However, there are only a few Holy Mark Masters who can really go further on this path.

To become a Saint Mark Master, one needs not only special talents, but also a huge amount of cultivation resources as support. These resources are often difficult to obtain, and only a very small number of people can possess them.

Ling Xiao was once a Saint Mark Master. On the Qilin Continent, he relied on his talent and hard work to go a long way on this path. However, he also knew the hardships and difficulties of this path.

On the Qilin Continent, he had faced challenges and difficulties countless times. If he did not have the powerful advantage of the Dominant Martial Soul and the constant blessing of adventures, he would probably have given up this path long ago.

At this moment, Ling Xiao stood in front of the mountain gate of the Shengwen Sect, gazing at this majestic sect standing on the top of the mountain, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

This sect is like a towering peak, standing between heaven and earth, exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.

Different from the majestic and solemn temperament of Tianxiahui, Shengwen Sect gives people a deeper and more mysterious feeling.

The surrounding mountains seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, which was the power of the Holy Mark Formation, which enveloped the entire sect and formed an indestructible barrier. This grand arrangement was enough to show the strength and heritage of the Holy Mark Sect.

The third sect in the Southern Region, the Holy Mark Sect, although this name does not sound as loud as the second sect in the Southern Region, the Tianxiahui, Ling Xiao knows that the strength of the Holy Mark Sect should not be underestimated. Whether it is the sect's style or its spectacular level, it is enough to make people feel awe.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then slowly climbed the stairs and walked towards the gate of the Holy Mark Sect. When he arrived in front of the gate, he saw two gatekeepers standing there straight, staring at him with sharp eyes.

"Who is coming?" one of the gatekeeper disciples asked coldly, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am a disciple of Tianxiahui, Ling Xiao." He deliberately reported the name of Tianxiahui. Although he knew that Tianxiahui might not be well-known outside the Southern Region, but within the Southern Region, Tianxiahui is a well-known existence.

He believed that as long as he announced the name of the Tianxiahui, these gatekeeper disciples would naturally give him the respect he deserved.

"Oh? So you are the senior brother from Tianxiahui!" After hearing the three words "Tianxiahui", the gatekeeper disciple's originally cold face immediately turned respectful.

He quickly adjusted his posture, clasped his hands, and asked with a bit of respect in his tone: "I wonder what brings you, brother from the Tianxia Association, to visit our Shengwen Sect?"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I heard that the Holy Mark Sect is currently recruiting talents from all over the world to create a set of fifth-level lower-grade Holy Mark Array, so I came here to help." His words revealed a kind of confidence and composure, as if he had already planned out the task with confidence.

"Oh?" The gatekeeper heard this and a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew the importance of the fifth-grade lower-grade holy pattern array to the sect, and he also knew that it took extremely high talent and strength to complete such a task.

And the senior brother from the Tianxia Association in front of him actually came forward to help, which naturally made him feel surprised and happy.

"Brother, you are truly righteous. Our Shengwen Sect is grateful to you!" The gatekeeper disciple hurriedly clasped his hands again to express his respect and gratitude to Ling Xiao. He knew very well that this brother from the Tianxia Association had an extraordinary background and was definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and turned around hurriedly to report to the sect.

"Please wait for a moment, Senior Brother. I will report this matter right away!" After the gatekeeper disciple finished speaking, he hurriedly left the place. He knew very well that the arrival of this senior brother from the Tianxia Association was a big deal for the sect, and he had to report it to the sect's top leaders as soon as possible.

Therefore, he trotted all the way into the sect, his heart full of respect and expectation for Ling Xiao.

In a solemn and dignified hall, the leader of the Holy Mark Sect sat on the main seat, frowning and looking deeply at the people below. His eyes revealed an indescribable worry and uneasiness, as if something serious was bothering him.

"What do you think?" The clan leader's voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable authority. His words instantly made the atmosphere in the hall more tense.

At this time, an old man in a gray robe slowly stood up. His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were bright and sharp, as if he could see through everything. He cleared his throat and said, "Sect Master, I have also heard some rumors about Ling Xiao recently."

"Oh? Tell me about it." The sect leader nodded slightly, motioning the old man to continue.

The old man pondered for a moment and continued, "This Ling Xiao has become famous in the Southern Region recently. I heard that he has only been a disciple of the Tianxia Association for two months, and he has already defeated many disciples of the Upper House, including Ou Luan who is ranked fifth. Such strength is indeed shocking."

"Not only that, I also heard that he is a demon cultivator." As soon as the old man finished speaking, a burst of whispers was heard in the hall.

The term "demon cultivator" is a taboo in the Southern Region, because the cultivation speed of demon cultivators is extremely terrifying, and their methods are extremely terrible, which often makes people terrified.

"Demon cultivator?" The sect master's face changed slightly, and he was obviously shocked by the news. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Any other news?"

Seeing this, another middle-aged man also stood up and replied respectfully: "Sect Master, I have also heard some rumors about Ling Xiao. This kid has been looking for a fifth-level upper-grade holy pattern formation diagram recently, and he seems to be quite interested in our Holy Pattern Sect's treasure."
