Wang Zhengyu was enjoying his journey. He was mesmerized by the beauty of waves and the creatures under the water . But suddenly the ship struck and stopped. The slaves start running here and there . Whereas Xue Congming was guiding them. Due to this unexpected incident both Ren wuhao and Wang Zhengyu came towards Xue Congming for knowing the reason.

Xue Congming was still finding the root cause of this sudden change. But every part of the ship was functioning right and there was nothing like rock where the ship can struck.

While they were moving up and down the ship start shaking.

"Hurry up start the ship , here is the water beast " Xue Congming screamed and the slaves start moving the ship with their full force but the ship didn't moved an inch.

Both of you went into the cabin and lock the door we will call you out when we tackle him , Xue Congming said and moved towards the control area.

Wang Zhengyu who was quietly observing all this Unsheathed his sword and jumped into the sea.

"Zhengyu", Ren wuhao called him but he has already jumped.

A black boneless creature which have millions of hands was sticking on the bottom of the ship.

Its the black water beast . The only way of defeating him is killing him. I must find his core . If i pierced his core . the black beast will die immediately, Wang Zhengyu thought and start moving towards the beast in full speed .

It was his first time fighting with a beast alone . The beast also sensed his presence and start trying to capture him with his sticky hands .

But Wang Zhengyu Reflexes and dodge every time . This make the black beast more angry. He let go of the ship and start following Wang Zhengyu. He surrounds him in a close circle of his hands .

Wang Zhengyu who was under the water start having difficulty in breathing. But he focused completely on the beast. the beast finally captured him and start squeezing him. Due to suffocation his face turned pale and when the beast thought that he have died.

Wang Zhengyu opened his eyes .One of his eye was shining red and other was shining blue. After that an immense energy surged and he pierced in the centre where the core was present . The sword breaked the core and the beast dissolve completely into the water after breaking into millions pieces making the water Black. Due to the surge of energy Wang Zhengyu Falls unconscious and start sinking. He slowly closed his eyes and the darkness surrounded him .the last thought which struck his mind was this was his end and now he can never be able to saw the world in this life.

Wang Zhengyu opened his eyes and found himself in his room. He saw his hands that he can make sure that he is not in the shadows of past. But luckily he was in reality not in a dream. He relaxed his body while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Knock…..knock….. someone knocked the room .

Wang Zhengyu took a deep breathe before opening the door whereas Xue Congming was standing there.

"It seems that uncle Xue wants to ask something," Wang Zhengyu said while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"And you know very well why I am here. Can you please explain for yesterday",Xue Congming asked while closing the door behind him.

"There are something which need to be sorted out", Wang Zhengyu replied and than sighed heavily as he continues,"Don't worry uncle I am well aware about my responsibilities and I will not do anything which tarnish the reputation of Jailer of afterlife prison".

I know , Xue Congming take a deep breathe before as he replied,"but you're not taking the futuristic approach. This Afterlife prison is not only a prison but the heart of the north. If anything happens in your absence it will affect the whole north continent and you know very well that how many people are just waiting for you to make a mistake. So they can take your place."

Wang Zhengyu standup and said witha smile," you know uncle my Father trusted you more than anyone else and so do I. I know that if I am not here you will handle everything on my behalf ".

"Stop pestering me ;your father was like my brother i promised him that I will take care of you and will never let you alone. Once I have did and I almost lost you but now I will not leave you alone", Xue Congming said while while moving towards him.

"I will be safe , I swear. Please let me go if I didn't go this time, I think I will never able to move forward in my life, Wang Zhengyu Said while turning towards the window.

"If you've already made your mind than I have nothing to say but you have to take personal guards with you I can't sit assured when you're alone with Yijian", Xue Congming said while turning Zhengyu face towards him.
