Meng Ruliu said, "Your Highness need not worry, I will have the soldiers investigate further."

After Meng Ruliu returned, Su Wan said to Wei Jingzhuo, "Ajin, what I'm about to say is very important. Sister Chu is the wife of Danma, the crown prince of Xirong. She is the third princess of Nanchu, and she told me about the goddess."

Wei Jingzhuo said, "Bai Zhiyi isn't a real goddess, is she?"

“Yes, she’s just an imposter,” Su Wan said. “My mother left me a jade pendant. Sister Chu said the goddess and the jade pendant are inseparable. If I show that jade pendant to Chu Yi…”

Chu Mingyao had told her about the characteristics of that jade pendant; the jade pendant she possessed was the Goddess's Resurrection Pendant. If she showed the jade pendant to Chu Yi, perhaps she could stop the Southern Chu army's attack.

Wei Jingzhuo's expression changed, and he said, "No, that won't do!"

At this moment, Meng Ruliu ran over again and said to the two of them, "Your Highness, a soldier heard a strange sound."

Wei Jingzhuo said, "A strange sound?"

"It sounds like tearing a piece of cloth, but not quite." Meng Ruliu ran towards the trench. "It's that kind of thin, hissing sound... I'll go ask again."

Wei Jingzhuo's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm, "Miss Meng, come back!"

"What's wrong?" Meng Ruliu turned to look at Wei Jingzhuo, puzzled, seemingly not understanding why Wei Jingzhuo was shouting like that.

The ground directly beneath the city wall suddenly bulged up, as if a giant had burst forth from the earth, pushing the city wall upwards, followed by a deafening explosion.

Su Wan only remembered that Wei Jingzhuo shielded her with his body, and then the two of them were blown away by a strong blast of air.
