Finally, his tightly shut eyes snapped open. However, his appearance was even more terrifying. His two large and empty eyes seemed to be devoid of any spirit, as if they were about to leave their sockets. In addition, dark red blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, Ji Feng looked like a yaksha from hell.

Due to the continuous input from the six of them, Ji Feng's meridians and sea of consciousness expanded to their limits within a short period of time. However, due to the existence of the Zhen Qi whirlpool, the power that everyone had bitterly cultivated for many years continued to enter Ji Feng's body.

At this moment, Ji Feng's dantian, sea of consciousness, and meridians were on the verge of collapsing. However, he was still in a state of unconsciousness. He had no idea what was going on with him. If, at this moment, his dantian and his sea of consciousness were to collapse, he wouldn't even know how he died.

However, things quickly turned for the better. The turning point came from the constantly rotating Zhen Qi vortex in his dantian. In such a short period of time, there was no longer any room for expansion of his meridians and dantian. Moreover, all of his clogged acupoints and meridians had been opened up. The huge amount of spiritual power and battle qi that still existed began to exert pressure on the Zhen Qi swirl. Moreover, the pressure was instantly increased to its maximum. Because of the pressure, the whirlpool of true qi that had been rotating at a high speed had actually appeared stagnant for a moment. Suddenly, something strange happened. The battle qi in his dantian and meridians seemed to have found another way out at the same time. It seeped out from his meridians and went into his flesh. The rate of penetration was extremely fast, and because of this, the pressure on Ji Feng's meridians was greatly reduced. Moreover, out of the six people, only Carter was a warrior. After that, he didn't have any more dou qi to continue pouring in. Ji Feng had escaped death.

The danger posed by dou qi seemed to have a solution. The crisis in his sea of consciousness was still there, even though the spiritual force in his sea of consciousness had also changed. However, the sea of consciousness that had been repeatedly expanded by his spiritual force had now reached an unbearable state. However, his sea of consciousness was the same as his dantian and meridians. Even though it looked thin, it was very resilient. This was the main reason why Ji Feng had been able to persevere and not be blown away by the power.

Even though Ji Feng's soul was damaged when he attacked the universe barrier, as a powerful warrior on earth, his soul was extremely powerful. Towards the sudden influx of spiritual energy, his soul didn't suffer much of an impact. Moreover, he unconsciously manipulated the spiritual force.

Under the influence of his soul, the spiritual force that had expanded his sea of consciousness over and over again began to gather together, and the pressure on his sea of consciousness also eased a little.

Time passed day by day. With her formidable strength, Lidiya quickly found some clues. When she learned that this might be connected to Queen Isabel, she fell into deep thought. She could not understand why Isabelle would do this. She was about Isabel's age, and they had been close friends in their girlhood. Later on, the two of them kept in touch. Although they were no longer as intimate as they were in the past, their relationship was still incomparable. Leticia considered this for a long time, then decided to make a personal trip to the palace.

When Isabelle heard Leticia's request for an audience, she was momentarily distracted. She, who had been following the Winston family movements, naturally knew about the search led by Letitia. Because Ronald Winston was prejudiced against his eldest son, he didn't make a big deal of it. He only sent some people to look for him, not very conscientiously.

Isabelle felt that this should be done seamlessly, so she did not follow up, nor did she follow her daughter's advice to get rid of the monsoon. As the queen of the empire, she naturally knew the power of the Winston clan, as well as the Emperor's reliance on them. She was going to wait for the Emperor to return and discuss the matter with him.

When Isabelle learned that Leticia had appeared at the Rose Bar, she knew something was wrong. She knew she must have missed something. However, she no longer had the chance to make amends. If Leticia caught the man she'd sent, it would be a lot of fun. As a mother, she naturally understood what Leticia was thinking. Due to his inability to cultivate, her heart was filled with guilt, and she spent more time thinking about him. Add to that the fact that her second son had never been by her side, there was no way she could possibly have doted on him. It could be said that Bonan was her reverse scale.

When Leticia arrived, Isabelle went out to greet her, smiling from a distance. "Leticia, it's been about three months since we last met, I don't think."

"That's right, there are too many things at home. I can't get out."

"It's about the same. His Majesty the Emperor is personally leading the army and there are too many things I have to deal with. It's a good thing that the ministers are doing their best. Otherwise, I would have long been exhausted."

"Queen, you are busy with national affairs, mine are all domestic affairs. There is no comparison."

"How many times have I told you to call me by my first name?" Isabelle rebuked.

"People will gossip about it. We just need to do it in our hearts."

While the two of them were talking, they entered the palace. A palace maid had long brought them drinks.

After sitting down, Isabelle said, "Leticia, you're suddenly in a hurry to see me today."

Leticia glanced at the two ladies standing behind Isabel, who waved her hands behind her, and they bowed and retreated.

After the two ladies had left, Leticia's expression immediately turned serious. She stared into Isabel's eyes and asked, "Your Highness, I came to inquire about the Rose Bar."

Isabelle's face darkened even though she had guessed at the purpose of her visit. Looking at her face, Leticia realized that something unexpected might have happened. However, she did not ask. In fact, she didn't know much, only that some clues pointed directly at Isabelle, and she would immediately come to confirm it. If he spoke now, he would only expose his bottom line.

After a long moment, Isabelle's expression gradually returned to normal. "Polnan hurt Selina," she said.

Lidiya's face changed, and she immediately asked, "That's impossible, Your Highness. I remember Princess Selina should be an elementary rank 7 fire mage. Paulnan is just an ordinary person, so how could he possibly hurt her?"

"Let's wait for His Majesty the emperor to come back before we make our decision." Isabelle spoke with an air of unquestionable power between her eyebrows, and at that moment she was a mother, not a friend of Leticia's.

Seeing Isabel's expression, Leticia let out a sigh of relief, and the worry she had felt for the past few days disappeared. She knew from Isabelle's words that the other knew where her son was.

So she asked, "Where is he?"

Isabelle hesitated. "The Celestial Prison."

As one of the upper echelons of the empire, of course she knew what the Celestial Prison was. She couldn't help but feel her heart rise again. With her family's influence, she was not worried about her son's life. She just did not know what that good-for-nothing eldest son of hers would do to harm Princess Selina.

Seeing Isabel's face, Leticia did not press him. She knew that if Isabel knew where her son was, she would not do anything to him. Although she wanted to know what her son had done, she didn't ask. In any case, she knew that once she saw her son, she would know everything. And, she was sure, Isabelle would soon be told the truth.

Thinking of this, she said, "I heard that His Majesty obtained a decisive victory in the battle not long ago. Will he return triumphantly in the future?"

Although Isabelle had not known this news for long, and most people did not know it yet, she was not surprised that Leticia knew it. For Leticia's father and father-in-law, the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of War, were both of the highest rank in the empire.

After she sent Lidia away, Isabelle immediately sent someone to the Celestial Prison to investigate. When she found out whether he was alive or dead, her face turned ugly.
