Then the red light faded, and it returned to normal, landing back in his hand.
Wang Youjun nodded: "That girl surnamed Yan is in the northwest, about tens of thousands of miles away. Hmm, that area is the territory of the Adventurers' Association headquarters. You can go there and ask them for directions."
Yun Jianyue said in a deep voice, "Is this all we can do? The northwest area is so vast, how can we find our companions?"
Xie Daoyun was also somewhat dissatisfied. After going to such great lengths, she only obtained such rough information, which was really not worth it.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a few one-time use imitation talismans. You can use them once every thousand miles, and each time they will guide you in a new direction. After a few times, you'll be able to determine the approximate range of the target. With your abilities, finding people again shouldn't be a problem for you," Wang Youjun replied.
"Do your imitation talismans also need to devour souls to activate?" Xie Daoyun's expression was somewhat unpleasant. She came from a respectable and upright family, and those talismans were simply evil objects.
“No need for that. Besides, the power isn’t as great as the original. Those imitations are destroyed after one use, and each time they can only guide a range of about a thousand miles,” Wang Youjun replied.
Xie Daoyun's expression relaxed slightly. Looking at the special talisman in his palm, she couldn't help but ask, "I remember the Second Young Master mentioned before that talismans don't need energy. Why does your talisman need to absorb a person's soul to work?"
“The second son is always chasing after women, how would he know anything about these things?” Wang Youjun said with a look of exasperation. “Who said talismans don’t need energy? Talismans and rituals, why are rituals and talismans listed together?”
"Emperors and generals in the human world often used various animals to sacrifice, begging for the protection and blessings of heaven or some mysterious beings."
"Our Shenxiao Sect practices fasting and bathing, and offers vegetarian dishes and fruits as offerings to the beings behind the talismans. These offerings are the energy of the talismans. The more devout the offerings are, the more the fasting and rituals align with the will of those beings, and the better the talismans will be."
"I see!" After listening to his explanation, Xie Daoyun suddenly felt enlightened and felt even more the mystery of the talismanic arts in this world.
“This talisman of mine is rather special. It favors the power of the soul, and naturally, the higher the rank, the greater the requirements.” Wang Youjun’s tone was somewhat proud. With a clench of his fist, the yellow talisman disappeared.
Yun Jianyue thought to herself, "This talisman must belong to the evil faction, right?"
"I wonder what kind of help you need from us, and I hope you will tell me in advance if there are any potential dangers."
"The main purpose is to ask Miss Xie for help in breaking through some tricky defensive formations. As for the other demons and monsters, our Wang family will handle them ourselves. As for danger," Wang Youjun smiled, "with me and the experts of the Wang family here, and Miss Yun taking care of things, I believe Miss Xie will not encounter any danger."
Sensing the disdain in his tone, Yun Jianyue thought to herself that it made sense; with the two of them joining forces with the Wang family, they wouldn't have too much of a problem no matter what they encountered.
The only concern is that the Wang family itself might be in danger...
But at this point, there's no time to worry about that: "When do we leave?"
“Everything else is ready. We’ve been waiting for a genius in formations. Now that the time is right, I’ll give the order to depart in an hour.” Wang Youjun took out another talisman and gently touched it. Soon, an invisible ripple enveloped the entire Wangjiawu.
The outbreak is expected to occur around mid-July, but I'll have to wait for further instructions from higher authorities to find out the exact date.
