Thus, without a doubt, the two of them were stopped.

It was already noon and the blazing sun was shining down. Luo Liya was a bit agitated, but that person was clearly not in a good mood. She shouted with a stern voice, "Who are you people?"

The soldier's tone was rather harsh. From his red, weeping nose, it could be seen that he was extremely saddened by Huang Zhaoming's death.

Luo Liya raised her eyes and looked at her for a moment. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She then moved closer to that person's red nose and started to wail.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who was crying and it did not seem that strange.

Wu Kong, who was behind her, was startled, but he immediately understood Luo Liya's purpose. He lowered his head to wipe his tears, and slowly moved to the city gate.

It wasn't that the two of them didn't think of escaping, but they didn't even know where this Yellow Empire Imperial City was or where they would go after they escaped. Besides, the Crown Prince knew a lot about the two of them, so he had to find a chance to sneak out first.

When the guard saw that Luo Liya was crying, he couldn't help but cry again. His tone became gentler, "But the one who went out to tell relatives that they came to mourn together with us, is that you?"

The guard didn't look very strong, but when he spoke, he sounded very confident. Luo Liya seemed to understand a little of what he was saying, listening to his unique accent. She hurriedly nodded her head, not forgetting to keep the rhythm of her crying as she nodded.

"Then hurry up and go, come back early."

Seeing Luo Liya nod sorrowfully, the guard seemed to remember his own sad thoughts. Thus, he didn't have the time to care about the identity of these two people. He covered his face and started to cry.

Luo Liya was overjoyed, and quickly passed.

Wu Kong continued to follow behind him without any signs of relaxation.

However, just as they arrived at the city gate, they saw a tall brawny man descending from the sky. Behind him, there were a few similarly dressed men wearing black hats and white robes. They were heading straight for Luo Liya and Wu Kong.

Damn, was he found out?

Luo Liya quickly gave Wu Kong a dangerous look, and the two of them got up, preparing to rush out of the city gate.

Unexpectedly, that person spoke sinisterly to the gatekeeper, "Close the city gates!"

While speaking, Luo Liya and Wu Kong had already flashed out of the city gate. "Fortunately, the bamboo beard old man's steps are still useful."

Luo Liya said to Wu Kong as she watched the tightly shut door getting further and further away from her.

However, Wu Kong didn't feel proud at all. He turned around and saw the densely packed archers on top of the city wall, "It can't be, can we? Why are we entangled with so many people so quickly?"

Wu Kong could not help but mutter.

This was a completely prepared war. Could it be that those few people had jumped down to chase the two of them out of the city so that they could be shot to death by random arrows?

However, the situation at this moment did not allow for them to think any further. Those archers had clearly prepared a lot of times. They pulled out their bows and arrows, directly shooting towards Luo Li and Wu Kong at the same time.

The two had no choice but to sprint left and right, their footsteps swift and steady. They were worried, "Is this a result of the Yellow Sand, or did the Crown Prince discover them long ago?"

Hearing Luo Liya's question, Wu Kong said, "Don't think too much into it, just hurry up and escape!"

However, just as he finished his sentence, a strong gale suddenly rose up in the air. The wind that was mixed with yellow sand made Luo Liya and Wu Kong feel that it was very familiar.

Cough, cough, this must be the Huang Clan Prince's secret art.

However, when he thought about it again, he knew that the crown prince would not do such a small thing himself. The sandstorm that was stirred up was not just one or two people.

The two of them simply stopped walking and stood where they were, cautiously looking at the gales. Luo Liya's hand had already reached into the bag, waiting for the person in the gale to appear.

However, after waiting for a long time, the two of them discovered that they were actually surrounding them, and the yellow sand beneath them, which was originally stable, became violent. Very soon, the entire ground was filled with strong gales, and the whirlwind that was originally six people instantly became a whirlwind that surrounded the two.

Luo Liya, who was wrapped in yellow sand, quickly took out the golden silk net and directed it towards the densest yellow sand in the surroundings.

A person covered in yellow sand fell to the ground with a wail.

After that person fell, Wu Kong immediately went forward to subdue him. Then, with a slap, he sent the remaining yellow sand flying towards the slowest moving gust of wind!

Since Wu Kong had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, he had long since possessed the ability to control the yellow sand. However, he had never tried. Now that he had the chance, it would be better to give it a try.

Upon seeing this, Luo Liya also joined Wu Kong's team. The amount of yellow sand swirling around her was relatively small, but it was more than enough to attack these few people.

With a few cries, those few people fell to the ground and were then knocked down to the ground by Wu Kong's Qi. They were unable to move.

The two of them were finally able to relax a little. However, at this moment, Luo Liya suddenly felt someone pulling her right foot!

Crap! Earth Escape Technique!

Could it be that Crown Prince Huang had come?

"Watch your step!" she shouted to Wu Kong, trying to keep her composure. Lifting his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan focused his strength into the center of his palm and sent a palm strike straight into the yellow sand.

There was only a painful "Ouch" sound as a person covered entirely in sand quickly jumped out from under the yellow sand.

It seemed he was just someone who had learned a thing or two from others. Luo Liya signaled Wu Kong to be more vigilant.

The two of them leapt into the air and held their Real Qi in their palms. They aimed at the dirt beneath their feet and clapped several times! In the blink of an eye, the yellow sand filled the sky, creating an unending stream of "aiyo" sounds. The two of them did not dare to stay any longer and could only rise to a higher altitude and wait for the yellow sand to dissipate before they dealt with it.

However, just when Luo Liya and Wu Kong were about to relax a little, a hurricane suddenly blew over. The speed was so fast that it was hard for the two of them to even take their eyes off it.

"Elder sister!"

Wu Kong was still floating in the air, anxiously shouting out Luo Liya's name. Luo Liya was shouting out loud, "It must be Crown Prince Huang! Wu Kong, protect yourself!"

The two men's words were totally out of place. Standing beside them, Crown Prince Huang had an evil expression on his face. He raised his hand and the golden silk net fell from the sky.

Holding the two people who had yet to find the sunlight from the yellow sand tightly, Luo Liya carefully put her hand into the brocade bag without making a sound.

This was not the first time that Wu Kong had been tied up by the golden silk net. Thus, he only observed his surroundings and did not show any signs of fear.

Looking at their calm expressions, Crown Prince Huang was surprised.

"Lift them up!"

"Yes!"

The group of people shouted out in anger. It seemed like Luo Li and Wu Kong had hurt their teammates quite a bit.

Looking at the approaching soldiers, Luo Liya was not the least bit worried. She watched as the crown prince left and immediately disappeared into the ground. With a wailing sound, the figure of a soldier disappeared and the soldiers frantically searched for him, only to discover that he quickly appeared inside the golden silk net.

"Report, report to the king!"

While the others were panicking, one of them was stammering a report to the crown prince. Suddenly, a wave of yellow sand engulfed the stuttering words he had just spoken.

Luo Liya immediately used the brocade handkerchief to retract the golden silk net on Wu Kong's body, then pulled him along as they madly ran away.

The situation unfolded in an instant. The frightened soldiers could only watch as Luo Liya and Wu Kong fled at lightning speed. They wanted to chase but discovered that the two of them had already disappeared from the sky.

Only after the yellow sand settled did the crown prince realize that his follower did not follow closely behind him.

He frowned and turned around, wanting to ask, but when he turned his head, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, "What happened?"

He had only taken two steps before the golden silk net disappeared. Not only that, the other one was actually curled up like one of his own! The soldier clearly had never seen such an item and was struggling to break free. As the golden silk net slowly tightened around his skin, the originally healthy person suddenly turned into a pile of bound flesh!

The rest of the soldiers were scared out of their wits, it was also the first time that Crown Prince Huang had seen this golden silk net, but in order to dispel everyone's fear, he had no choice but to take two steps forward and kill the person in the golden silk net with one palm. He then quickly swept up the sand and covered the golden silk net tightly before turning around to ask the person beside him, "Where are the two of them?"

"He's running towards that direction!"

After a long silence, someone answered with a trembling voice.

Crown Prince Huang wanted to kill the rest of them with one palm strike, but as he had just become the king, if he were to treat his brothers in distress in such a way, it would be very bad. He could only sigh, look at them in disappointment, turned around and flew into the air, chasing after Luo Li Ya and Wu Kong.

The Yellow Emperor knew he couldn't catch up to the two of them, but he still had to put on an act. After all, he had borrowed Dong Li Zhen's treasure, but he couldn't catch the two of them. Therefore, he madly chased for an hour in the direction indicated by that person before returning to the capital.

As for Luo Liya and Wu Kong, they had already traveled a few kilometers and had no pursuers behind them. Seeing the oasis in front of them, the two of them decided to stop and rest.

"It seems like Crown Prince Huang is working with Dong Li Zhen. We need to hurry back to the Kingdom of Clearwater."

The long flight had exhausted Luo Liya's body, but the moment she stood, she started to think about the safety of the Jade Water Nation. Looking at her worried expression, Wu Kong's eyes were filled with heartache.

"Let's take a rest here and head back to the Blue Water Nation."

He didn't say anything more. He simply took off his jacket and lightly draped it over Luo Liya's body. Then, he took the kettle and went to the oasis to fill it up with water.

Luo Liya looked at his broad back, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart, as if there was sweetness and a sense of security.

Without realizing it, it was already dusk. To be able to see the sunset in the desert was truly a wonderful thing in life. Putting aside all worries in her mind for the time being, Luo Liya leaned against a thick but short shrub beside the oasis, feeling the gentle evening breeze.

Wu Kong sat quietly beside her. Both of them were breathing in and out at the same time. Their eyes were filled with confusion as they looked at the faint glow of the setting sun.

"If only it could continue like this."

Wu Kong, who had been silent all this time, gently held Luo Liya's hand and wrapped his hand around hers. He said gently, "Liya, wait for Dong Li Zhen's matter to be settled. Shall we leave together?"

Luo Liya's heart stopped beating for a moment as she turned her head to look at Wu Kong's serious expression. His deep eyes were like clear spring water, and in his tranquil embrace, she only wanted to stay still. If she could stop, it would be a great thing in her life.

Staring fixedly at each other for a long time, Luo Liya finally answered the question, "Why did you call me Liya?"
