Yelu led more than twenty thousand soldiers and quickly entered the desert.
"Everyone, spread out." He swiftly gave the order.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers promptly divided into several groups and fled in all directions.
Li Mingfang pursued the group that Yelu was leading.
Yelu deliberately led Li Mingfang in a zigzag chase to confuse their original direction.
By the time Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er caught up, neither Yelu's nor Li Mingfang's figures were to be seen, and they could only follow their footprints.
The wind gradually began to pick up...
Mounting their horses, they only seemed to be getting further away.
Gradually, as the wind grew stronger, the footprints left by Yelu and his men were instantly erased by the sand whipped up by the powerful gusts.
Nothing could be seen but a yellow fog formed of fine sand particles.
Yelu turned back and looked at Li Mingfang, revealing an enchanting smile.
