After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

"found it!"

Before Ling Cang finished speaking, Chang Hun grabbed a bundle of bamboo slips with an ecstatic look on his face and stood up excitedly.

Ling Cang, who was sitting opposite the table, also stood up and looked at the bamboo slips in Chang Hun's hand, but he still couldn't understand what was written on the bamboo slips. He had to use his eyes to signal Chang Hun to translate it for him.

Chang Hun held the bamboo slip in one hand and the words copied from the coffin in the other. He took a long breath and then slowly said, "This bamboo slip was written by the senior brother who entered the ancestor's snow source in his spare time. It records the story of that ancestor.

It turned out that the Lingbing clan funeral that the ancestor disrupted that day was actually a resurrection ceremony. The fiancée of the Lingbing clan's high priest died unexpectedly, and the high priest, despite opposition from others, secretly opened Zi Han's tomb and took out the Seven Star Lamp, hoping to use the Seven Star Lamp to resurrect his fiancée.

This was also the first time that the Lingbing Clan tried to use the Seven Star Lamp. No one knew whether they tried it again, but this time they failed.

The resurrection ceremony was interrupted by the ancestor who suddenly broke in just as it began. The resurrection ceremony was invalidated and turned into a funeral.

The high priest, unable to revive his lover, cursed the ancestor and the strange doctor's lineage in anger..."

Ling Cang frowned slightly, "Get to the point!"

"Oh, um... I see."

Chang Hun unfolded the jade slip in his hand and continued, "The sentence on the coffin that has not been translated yet is exactly about how to use the Seven Star Lamp. To light the Seven Star Lamp, you need lamp oil and a wick. As mentioned before, the wick can be made from the blood and hair of a close relative.

As for lamp oil, there are three words on the coffin. The one that looks like flowing water and mountains represents life and vitality, the one that looks like flames and light represents divine power or faith, and the last one that looks like clouds and mist... I'm sorry, I really can't translate it.

As for the extremely complicated character that looks like a bird and a bull monster, it means sacrifice or offering. Using the Seven Star Lamp to resurrect a person requires a sacrifice during the ceremony to sacrifice to the magic lamp.

Back then, after our ancestor accidentally stumbled into the Outer Snow Source, he encountered the High Priest of the Spirit Ice Clan performing a resurrection ceremony. The reason our ancestor wanted to disrupt the ceremony was because the High Priest had captured several cultivators with the same attributes as the Spirit Ice Clan in the cultivation world, that is, cultivators with ice spiritual roots, as sacrifices. Our ancestor was quite righteous and passionate, so..."

Ling Cang's face changed color when he heard it. He grabbed Chang Hun's collar directly, with a sinister look of shock and anger on his face, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

After leaving Chang Hun behind, Ling Cang, completely panicked, rushed out of the study and jumped directly onto Qionghua's back. The man and the bird flew back to Junhong City at the fastest speed.

It must not be what he thought, it must not be the worst possible outcome...

Ling Cang felt that he had never been so anxious and nervous. He told himself over and over again that Yu Nian would not fall into his father's hands so easily, and his father would not take action against Yu Nian for his sake.

However, every time he tried to find excuses to comfort himself, his mind would always recall the stupid and embarrassing things Yu Nian had done...

If you want to deal with such a person, you don't need to defeat him openly with force. A few underhanded tricks can easily solve the problem.

As it turned out, the worst result he had imagined still happened. He did not find Yu Nian and Ling Qing in Ling Mansion and Junhong City. He only found Ye Tang and the other two. They all said that they did not know where Yu Nian was. Even Qionghua could not sense where Yu Nian was.

Ling Cang grabbed the servant who usually did odd jobs with Ling Qing and said sternly, "Where are Yu Nian and father?"

"Master, the master..." The servant was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"Say it!"

The servant's face turned pale as he stammered, "The master of the family has gone out with True Lord Yu Nian..."

"Where did you go?"

"Well, I don't know either..."

Ling Cang left the boy behind and went to Jinyutang and the back mountain of Ling Mansion, but still couldn't find Yu Nian. Looking at the deepening night, Ling Cang took two deep breaths.

At this time, you must not be anxious, you must think calmly...

"The Southern Dipper controls life, the Northern Dipper controls death. If you want to borrow life from the Northern Dipper, you must find a place close to the stars... In the area around Junhong City, the highest place is the Sky Pearl!"

Thinking of this, Ling Cang suddenly looked up at the mysterious snow cave in the night, and then jumped onto Qionghua's back.

"Qionghua, fly faster!"

Ling Cang pointed in the direction, and Qionghua let out a loud cry before spreading its wings. It transformed into a stream of light in the dark night and flew towards the Sky Pearl deep in the snow cave.

The Pearl in the Sky is located on the top of the mountains in the center of the snow cave. It is surrounded by white clouds all year round, with colorful waves and mists, which is very spectacular and sacred.

When Ling Cang and Qionghua arrived at the Sky Pearl, countless flames were already flickering on the thick ice that had frozen the lake.

Countless lit lamps were placed in the center of the lake, forming 49 circles of different sizes inside and outside. In the innermost circle, there were seven lamps corresponding to the Big Dipper in the sky.

The legendary Seven Star Lamp is the main lamp and is placed at the Pojun position, but it has not been lit because the time has not come.

The breeze on the top of the mountain made the flames sway gently, but the lamps would not be extinguished by the wind. Surrounded by countless flames, Ling Xing sat cross-legged on the ice with his eyes closed. Two bodies were lying not far away from him.

One of the bodies was naturally Yu Nian who was already unconscious, and the other body was a young woman who looked to be only in her early twenties.

The woman was wearing a white gauze dress, had long snow-white hair, and her skin was also bloodless white. Her beautiful little face maintained a serene expression. Snow light lingered around her, but there was no breath of life, like a perfect ice sculpture.

Looking at Yu Nian lying unconscious in the lamp, Qionghua hummed anxiously and rushed over with flapping wings.

However, before the Qionghua could get close to the outermost lamp, it was bounced away by the light curtain formed by the lights.

It climbed up from the ice and wanted to continue rushing forward, but was stopped by Ling Cang.

Ling Cang looked expressionlessly at Yu Nian, who was surrounded by the lights, and the woman lying beside Yu Nian, and finally his gaze fell on Ling Qing.

Ling Xing opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes for a moment, but then he quickly retracted the sharpness and returned to his usual kind and amiable appearance.

"When did you find out, and how did you find your way here?" Ling Qing was still a little surprised that Ling Cang appeared here, but he still managed to speak calmly.

Ling Cang looked at Ling Qing with a cold expression, then took out a transparent bead. "This is the Ice Spirit Bead. I found it in the stream at the Snow Source. You gave me a bead exactly like this when I was a child... This should be the key to the Snow Source's gate, right?"

At that time, when Ling Cang and his three companions were drinking water from the secluded snow source stream, they unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be something shining at the bottom of the shallow stream.

After Yu Nian and the other two left, Ling Cang felt behind him and found that the bottom of the stream was full of ice spirit beads.

Because the Ice Spirit Pearl is transparent and has no impurities, it is difficult to be discovered when hidden at the bottom of the stream. Yu Nian and the other two drank the water and left, but Ling Cang, with his sharp eyes, discovered the abnormality at the bottom of the water.

Ling Cang was shocked at the time. He remembered the one Ling Xing gave him when he was a child, and the semicircular hole he had seen on the gate of the Snow Source before. He remembered that the gate opened after absorbing his blood... He knew that Ling Xing had been to the Snow Source and that he had a connection with the Lingbing Clan.

Ling Xing is a complete human cultivator, so there is only one possibility, his mother is from the Lingbing clan.

Afterwards, he saw an empty coffin and new shallow footprints on the ground in the stone chamber of the temple. He almost guessed that the coffin had contained his deceased mother.

Then, the four of them went to the Snow Demon's tomb and found that the Seven-Star Lamp in the Snow Demon's coffin had been stolen. Ling Cang then realized that it was Ling Qing who did it.

Later, the news he got from Chang Hun further confirmed his guess.

In his previous life, there hadn't been any evil cultivators slaughtering the city. The man who had caused the massacre of his entire family in the Junhong City tragedy was his father, Ling Qing...

The purpose of Ling Xing doing all this is to use the Seven Star Lamp to resurrect his mother.
