Vanguard Skirmish Avoidance

No direct combat occurred. Han Li's party attempted to stealthily bypass the massive 'Red Dust Myriad Zhang' sandstorm deployed by the Mulan vanguard. They were briefly trapped in a minor illusion formation but broke out easily. The Yellow Sand Tribe's Great Shangshi, assessing the party's strength (multiple Nascent Soul cultivators), chose not to engage directly to avoid losses, allowing the party to escape the sandstorm area.
