　　“Crackle,　crackle,　crackle…”
　　When Xu Taiping realized this, the frozen area at the bottom of the lake had already spread from the feet of the Demon Emperor Octopus to its neck.
　　Not far away, Duan Xiaoyu and the four youths of Xuanyuanhuangtian were still struggling and could still break the surrounding hard ice from time to time. But as the cold air became stronger and stronger, the surrounding hard ice also became harder and harder, and their movements became slower and slower.
　　Obviously, this cold air couldn’t be resisted by ordinary spells and supernatural powers at all.
　　After a little weighing in his heart, Xu Taiping finally made a difficult choice——
　　“Leave.”
　　Leave the River of Time, return half a year later, and then find a way to solve this problem.
　　Because this hard ice on the left and right will not melt within three to five years.
　　However, what made Xu Taiping a little surprised was that just as he was about to summon the Kunwu Sword and directly leave the River of Time, the Kunwu Sword was completely out of his control and refused to fly out of the iron gourd.
　　Just as Xu Taiping was very confused, the voice of Lotus Pupil suddenly rang out in his mind：
　　“It should be that you have not yet escaped from the current predicament, and the Kunwu Sword cannot take you away from this River of Time.”
Xu Taiping suddenly understood in his heart and thought dark Secret passage:
　　“To get rid of the ice of this coldness under the premise of controlling this Demon Emperor Octopus, it should only be possible to give up this Shiyuan Clone.”
Although this Demon Emperor Octopus said that it would not take himself and them together here, if the saber momentum is taken back at this time, Xu Taiping believes that this Demon Emperor Octopus will immediately exert his terrible power of the origin magic seed and kill everyone present.
　　Fortunately, Xu Taiping is still using the Shiyuan Clone to fight against this Demon Emperor Octopus this time, and his real body is still in the big iron coffin behind.
　　“Boom！”
So Xu Taiping in the saber flame did not hesitate at all. Before being completely frozen, he slapped the coffin that suppresses demons on his back with a heavy palm, and directly sent it out of Xingluo Lake through the saber flame.
　　Seeing this, the Demon Emperor Octopus sneered and said：
　　”It seems you really intend to be frozen here with me.”
　　As he spoke, with the Demon Emperor Octopus as the center, the water area within a radius of over a hundred zhang was completely frozen.
　　And it just happened to freeze into a very square block of ice.
　　Even the blade flame of Xu Taiping’s Burning Blade Style was completely extinguished by the ice.
　　For a while, Xu Taiping’s Beginning Yuan Clone, just like that, stood face to face with the Demon Emperor Octopus in that huge ice block, motionless.
　　The Demon Emperor Octopus, who didn’t recognize that this was Xu Taiping’s Beginning Yuan Clone, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and asked：
　　”Do you think that by sending out the token, someone will be able to find this place and break this ice for you to save you all？”
　　Xu Taiping wasn’t in a hurry to leave the River of Time either, so he used his Beginning Yuan Clone to fish for information from the Demon Emperor Octopus and said：
　　”After all, it’s just a spell.”
The Demon Emperor Octopus smiled smugly and said:
“Since you are also frozen together, then this emperor might as well tell you that this block of ice is actually the origin of this emperor’s body the remaining body of that Desolate Ancient Ice Demon.”
　　”If you want to cut open this block of ice, unless you can use a force equivalent to a single strike of a cultivator at the Harmony with the Dao Realm, otherwise, don’t even think about damaging it in the slightest.”
　　”To be honest, in this Upper Clear Lower Realm, there simply isn’t such combat power.”
　　Xu Taiping’s brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this.
　　Although he had obtained a very important piece of information, the content of this information also made Xu Taiping’s heart tighten.
　　Because if what the Demon Emperor Octopus said was true, and this block of ice was really formed from the remaining body of that Desolate Ancient Ice Demon, then with his current cultivation and combat strength, it would indeed be very difficult for him to break it open.
　　Seeing Xu Taiping’s face showing a difficult expression, the Demon Emperor Octopus continued somewhat proudly：
　　Moreover, even if the people outside find that token of yours, it will be very difficult for them to find the bottom of this lake.
Because although looking up from this cave, one can clearly see the stars and moon above the Starfall Lake, but if looking from above the Starfall Lake, one can only see the dark bottom of the lake.
　　Do you think how this emperor managed to hide at the bottom of this lake for hundreds of years？
　　The Demon Emperor Octopus seemed to see that Xu Taiping was also frozen, so he revealed one by one the restrictions he had set up at the bottom of this lake.
　　After all, this was his proud work.
　　But just when he thought that Xu Taiping would once again show a surprised expression as before, he only saw Xu Taiping smile faintly and say：
It is indeed a good plan and good restrictions, but I believe that the person who is supposed to respond me will surely be able to find this place in the future.
　　As for how to break open this remaining body of the Ice Demon, let’s wait and see.
　　Although that’s what he said, Xu Taiping actually didn’t have much confidence in his heart, but at this moment, this was all he could do.
　　As for how to actually cut open that ice devil’s remaining body, he had to go back and discuss it carefully with Senior Daogui and Abbot Jiashe and the others.
　　With these thoughts in mind, Xu Taiping suddenly loudly shouted towards Duan Xiaoyu and the others behind him：
　　Miss Xiaoyu, the four little brothers from Xuanyuan Heaven.
　　From now on, use the turtle breathing technique to quietly guard your minds and don’t let your bodies be injured by the cold air all around.
　　As for how to get out, don’t worry. Naturally, someone will come to rescue us after half a year.
Although Duan Xiaoyu and the others didn’t recognize Xu Taiping, the few people who had seen the previous battle between Xu Taiping and the Demon Emperor Octopus had already regarded Xu Taiping as a certain hidden world expert who could be relied upon. So after hearing Xu Taiping say these words, they immediately and without hesitation in unison replied:
　　Thank you for the reminder, Senior！
　　The Demon Emperor Octopus, on the other hand, laughed out loud and said：
　　Half a year？ I think you’re daydreaming！
　　Xu Taiping didn’t argue with it. Instead, after giving the sleeping order to the Shiyuan Clone, he directly cut off the mental connection between himself and the Shiyuan Clone, leaving it at the bottom of the lake, frozen together with several people.
　　……
　　Clang！
　　By the Xingluo Lake.
　　Inside the disguised Demon-Suppressing Coffin, Xu Taiping’s true body pushed open the coffin lid and stood up from the coffin.
　　“I remember that my master also left a clone in the River of Time, so there shouldn’t be any problem leaving this Shiyuan clone here, right？”
　　Xu Taiping looked at the lake below and muttered to himself.
　　Lian Tong suddenly spoke up at this time and said：
　　“It’s okay.”
　　“After all, the Shiyuan clone is just a strand of Primeval Mysterious Qi between heaven and earth. There won’t be any problem leaving him here.”
　　After hearing what Lian Tong said, Xu Taiping felt relieved.
　　Immediately, he took out a star map stone obtained from a demonic cultivator from the coffin, threw it with a flick of his hand, and directly threw it into the Starfall Lake.
　　After doing all this, Xu Taiping carried the Demon-Suppressing Coffin on his back, sacrificed the Kunwu Sword, and then said with a solemn expression：
　　“Let’s go back, go back half a year later. Now we at least know the whereabouts of Xiaoyu and the others.”
　　“As for how to break open that remnant body of the Ice Demon, we’ll have to ask Senior Daogui and the others.”
