The clouds on the clothes were instantly sucked into and completely swallowed up by the sandstorm that had never been so intense in Luxian County.

"No..." Xuan Yuanhan reached out anxiously to pull, but in the end he couldn't grab anything.

He stood there, stunned, unwilling to believe his eyes.

What's even more unacceptable is that the person who was just standing right in front of them has suddenly disappeared.

He stared in near despair at the rolling sand dunes before him, which surged in and enveloped the entire world around him.

The enormous "sky curtain" made of coarse and fine sand grains blocked his entire view in an instant.

All the soldiers who followed him were stunned as they watched the clouds on their clothes being swallowed up by the yellow dragon in an instant.

Wei Ning watched as the hurricane grew stronger and stronger, forming rows of imposing yellow dragons that continued to circle in the air, seemingly still brewing to rise higher and higher.

He quickly snapped out of his daze, rushed forward, grabbed Xuan Yuanhan's arm, and tried to pull him back: "Your Highness, leave here quickly! It will be too late if we don't leave now!"

“No… I cannot leave her here alone. I said I would personally bring her home.” Xuan Yuanhan stood firmly on his feet, unmoved by the other man.

Seeing the sandstorm that was already close at hand, Wei Ning anxiously advised, "Your Highness, you must be clear-headed! The Princess Consort has already been swallowed by the sandstorm. If Your Highness does not leave quickly, you will also be injured by it. Your Highness should leave immediately!"

"No, I will wait for Yun'er here. I will not leave, nor can I leave..."

No matter how anxious Wei Ning was, or how much he tried to persuade him, Xuan Yuanhan remained focused on the sand wall in front of him.

It seemed as if they were subtly observing and searching, planning something.

He then ordered his troops behind him: "All soldiers, listen to my command! Everyone, immediately retreat to a safe area."

Unexpectedly, the soldiers did not hesitate at all. Upon hearing this, they all knelt down and shouted in unison, "The soldiers of the royal army are all of unyielding spirit. No matter when or where, how can we abandon our lord to save our lives? Wherever Your Highness is, we will be there. We swear to follow Your Highness the Prince of Qin to the death!"

Xuanyuan Handun turned around and glared at them, intending to reprimand them: "Who gave you the audacity to defy me..."

But behind him, everyone was covered in dust and dirt, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

They all looked resolute, not even blinking, and in an instant, no one could do anything about them.

At this moment, Wei Ning had clearly given up trying to persuade him and said, "Since Your Highness is determined not to leave, your subordinates will certainly not leave you here alone. Behind us lies Lu County, an inseparable part of our vast Western Qin territory. Since we cannot escape this inevitable catastrophe, let us face it together! We swear to protect Lu County to the death!"

"We swear to defend Lu County to the death!"

"We swear to defend Lu County to the death!"

"We swear to defend Lu County to the death!"

...

Everyone suddenly stood up, brandishing their swords and following.

As he spoke, Wei Ning led his soldiers to draw their swords, took two quick steps forward, and stood in front of Xuan Yuanhan, ready to defend him.

Xuanyuan Han was immediately shocked and looked back at the two characters "Lu County" carved on the boundary marker.

"That's right, behind us is Lu County, an inseparable and sacred part of our Western Qin land."

"Yun'er, I don't believe it, I don't believe that you will leave me like this in this lifetime!"

"No...this must be an illusion. You must have gotten lost in this desert again, right?"

"Is it possible... if I can cross this sand wall, I will be able to find you?"

"It must be...it must be like this."

"Yun'er, don't be afraid, I'll be coming to find you soon! Wait for me..."

As they spoke, everyone began to gather their strength, intending to rush towards the sand wall in front of them, which seemed to have completely boiled over and had been swept into it.

At that very moment.

Suddenly, the cloud on the robe reappeared from the body of the hundred-foot-long yellow dragon.

He felt as if he had lost his weight, and was slowly lifted up by it.

She rose higher and higher, until finally, she stood steadily at the top of the Yellow Dragon, looking down at the tiny figures on the ground.

My gaze finally settled on Xuan Yuanhan, and I never imagined that he would be so fearless of even the forces of nature for my sake.

This is an unprecedented hurricane and sandstorm in Luxian County, powerful enough to level the entire county without lifting a finger.

At this thought, she looked at where he was with a heart full of heartache and said silently, "Your Highness, why are you doing this? Why don't you cherish yourself? Why are you so foolish?"

She wanted to call out to him loudly, to tell him that she was still alive, and to urge him to turn back quickly so that she could escape.

But the sound of the hurricane in my ears, mixed with the huge sound of sand colliding with each other, made it seem as if I couldn't even hear my own cries.

Not to mention Xuanyuan Han, who was a hundred feet away from him.

In an instant, she was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

He then fixed his gaze on the jade-colored porcelain bottle in his hand.

For now, she could only place all her hopes on the last remaining drop of divine spring water in the porcelain bottle in her hand.

With this thought in mind, she sniffed.

He slowly closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and silently recited, "A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there. Water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons that inhabit it."

"For Your Highness's wish, for the peace of this continent, for the prosperity of the Western Qin Kingdom, and for the people of Lu County to be free from suffering and never again to endure the torment of sandstorms."

"I am willing to give my life for all of this."

After saying that, he tilted the bottle and sprinkled the water from the divine spring in his jade-colored porcelain bottle onto the huge sand wall at his feet, which was rushing forward rapidly and swallowing everything in its path.

At the same time, the seven-colored gold and jade bracelet on her wrist suddenly began to flash.

Gradually, it seemed to be drawing out streaks of purple light.

Soon, the purple light gathered its power and surrounded Yi Shangyun.

Underfoot.

As the sand wall surged and crashed down on them, the large furniture was powerless to resist.

He could only instinctively and fearfully stretch out an arm to cover his face.

Just when everyone thought they were about to be swept away by the sandstorm and gave up struggling, the huge sand wall suddenly stopped its howling advance.

"what happened?"

"Why did the sandstorm stop?"

"What exactly is going on?"

...

Seeing that the expected rhythm had not occurred, the soldiers slowly opened their eyes.

Looking at these imposing sand walls, so close I'd never been before, seemingly spinning in place just a step away, I felt an overwhelming sense of power.

Xuanyuan Han climbed up the sand wall and was the first to see the figure of Yi Shangyun at the top.

For a moment, I was both surprised and delighted.

Once he came to his senses, he excitedly looked at the yellow dragon that still seemed to be coiling very high and said, "Yun'er...it really is you! You're really still alive?! I knew it! We've been through so much together, and it wasn't easy for us to come together. You wouldn't be so heartless as to leave me all alone!"

He paused, then continued, "Yun'er, come back, come back quickly! I was wrong, I was really wrong. I never want to know who Wei Mingxuan is again. All I want is for you to return to my side safely, that's enough!"

No matter what he said or what he said, he never received a response from Yi Shangyun.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone around him looked in the direction he was gazing.

But suddenly they discovered that the layers of sand walls in front of them seemed to be gradually receding.

Everyone was astonished by this.

"The hurricane is decreasing."

"The sand wall is decreasing."

"This is... the sandstorm is receding."

"Could this disaster be over just like that?!"

"Lu County really held out?!"

...

In a very short time, this massive hurricane and sandstorm, which had come with tremendous force, actually turned into dust and disappeared completely.

As the smoke cleared, dust returned to dust, and the sky above quickly brightened again.

It is bluer and purer than ever before.

But the figure of Yi Shangyun was nowhere to be seen again.

She seemed to be a manifestation of spiritual energy, drifting with the swirling smoke to every corner of this world.

Xuanyuan Han was already trembling with fear, and upon seeing this, he collapsed to the ground.

Gazing at the vast, now tranquil and empty plains before him, he cried out in anguish, "Yun'er...don't go...come back to my side!"

Upon seeing this, the soldiers all gathered around him, exclaiming, "Your Highness..."

at this time.

The stone door in the underground shelter was finally opened.

After the sandstorm receded, the people of Lu County all emerged from the shelters, supporting each other as they went.

It's astonishing that this sandstorm ended before it even began.

In the distance, a figure suddenly appeared faintly.

From the crowd, someone quickly shouted, "That's the old clan chief!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone started discussing it.

"Elder Chief..."

"The old patriarch is still alive, he really is still alive..."

"This is wonderful!"

As it drew closer to the crowd, people flocked to it.

The old clan chief told everyone with great excitement.

"We held on, we held on..."

"Our protective forest has been saved..."

"The grasslands have been protected too..."

"Our home is still here..."

"Lu County has been defended..."

"They really held on!"

Upon learning that the protective forests and grasslands built by Yi Shangyun and his team were completely intact without any loss, they were all overjoyed and danced with delight.
