Not long after returning to the prison cell,
Ye Liang followed the group out of the confinement chamber.
There were indeed a lot of people among the exiles this time.
"Brother, did you also violate divine law?"
"Yeah, I secretly descended to the mortal world and married two mortal women."
"Same here! Me too!" Two exiles ahead of Ye Liang were chatting casually. Ye Liang walked closer, but before he could ask anything, they had already walked away.
He approached several other exiles.
Yet each time he tried to strike up a conversation, they all avoided him.
"Why are these people unwilling to interact with me?"
Ye Liang pondered for a moment and understood.
Although they were all exiles, he was only a mortal who had offended Izan Yamato—of course, he wouldn't be welcomed.
Just then, he noticed another solitary figure in the crowd.
This man had a crew cut and carried a green bamboo staff. Although his eyes weren't especially alert, they carried a piercing, blade-like intensity.
This man was an expert!
Ye Liang walked over.
"Brother, is this your first exile?" He greeted.
The crew-cut man glanced up at Ye Liang, then suddenly smiled. "You're Ye Liang? So what brings you over? Looking to talk to me?"
"You know me?"
Ye Liang was taken aback.
In theory, aside from the Izan family, no one else should know about Ye Liang.
He had just entered the prison and was immediately brought directly to the Izan household. Due to healing wounds, he hadn't come out since. Others surely hadn't seen him.
"Of course I know you. We've met at the clan shrine."
"The shrine? You mean the time when Izanami was questioned?" Ye Liang asked.
"Exactly! When you challenged the clan leader, I was watching every move you made."
"I see... Is that so?"
Ye Liang was slightly startled.
He had no impression of this crew-cut man at all. Now suddenly being mentioned, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"What? Not sure what's going on, so you came to ask around?" The man teased. He looked confidently at Ye Liang, clearly proud of having pierced his thoughts.
Ye Liang smiled and clasped his hands. "Yes, brother!"
He candidly admitted, "It's my first exile, you know. Everyone goes through one eventually. Since we're all in this together, we should look out for each other."
"Brother Ye, your words make sense." After hearing this, the crew-cut man nodded in agreement. Seeing no one else around, he quietly handed Ye Liang a bamboo flute.
"Once you go in, blow this flute, and we'll reunite."
Ye Liang hesitated for a moment but still secretly slipped the flute into the System Space.
They exchanged glances before parting ways.
Not long after,
Susanoo-no-Mikoto arrived.
The moment he arrived, all conversation ceased. Seeing everyone shut their mouths, he walked to the center of the crowd and threw a black pearl into the sky.
A pitch-black gate abruptly appeared!
"This is the portal to the alternate dimension. You all have committed grave crimes and should be executed on the spot. However, our clan leader, out of regard for your divine lineage, has seen fit to spare your lives.
"If you manage to escape from the alternate dimension and return, the clan leader will naturally forgive your sins."
"And depending on your performance, you will receive corresponding rewards."
This was the first time Ye Liang had ever heard Susanoo-no-Mikoto say so much in a single day.
The moment the Black Gate opened, Susanoo-no-Mikoto sat down beside it without hesitation. From his posture, he seemed to be supervising these exiled criminals.
Ye Liang scanned the Black Gate. At this moment, not a single person dared approach it first. After all, the people from other worlds still harbored fear in their hearts.
Just as he hesitated for a second, the crew-cut man from earlier strode forward first. He shot a contemptuous glance at Susanoo-no-Mikoto before leaping straight in.
With the first representative going in, gradually more people followed into the gate.
Ye Liang hesitated for a second before walking toward the Black Gate. However, when passing by Susanoo-no-Mikoto, he suddenly glanced at Ye Liang: "Beware of the Izan tribe."
"Beware of the Izan tribe?" Ye Liang was taken aback but quickly leapt through the gate.
Inside was a spatial passage.
Ye Liang had already traveled through spatial portals multiple times, so he felt quite familiar with them.
Except for stronger spatial currents, this passageway held nothing particularly unique.
He swiftly navigated through.
Behind him came many screams of agony.
Those were the screams of people being torn apart after being sucked into the spatial currents.
"No wonder that jailer said only experts could reach another world! Anyone slightly weak would get shredded by these spatial currents!"
He moved forward through the portal for a while before finally emerging from the spatial passage.
Blinding light dazzled him as he emerged.
When Ye Liang regained clear vision of his surroundings, he found himself in a dense jungle.
The weather here was very hot, and it was still daytime.
"Is this the other world?" He scanned the surroundings. The jungle was lush and vibrant, far greener than anything in the Naruto world.
"What kind of danger zone has bugs crawling everywhere?"
Ye Liang puzzled over the scene. There were abundant plants and numerous insects crawling on the ground. If this really were a dangerous place, such signs of life wouldn't exist!
He continued walking straight ahead.
Suddenly!
A loud footstep echoed from far away!
Thud! Thud!
Like those of an ancient dinosaur, the footsteps even caused slight tremors in the earth.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a giant red eyeball staring down at him from thirty meters high!
"What a massive giant!"
Actually—
Behind Ye Liang stood a thirty-meter-tall cyclops, glaring fixedly at Ye Liang's back. Judging from its drooling flow, this certainly wasn't a kind-hearted creature.
Before Ye Liang could react, the giant's huge hand already slammed downward toward him!
"Oh my goodness!"
Seeing that palm nearly comparable to a Susanoo's size, Ye Liang hastily stepped backward!
Just as he cleared the palm's range, he saw the ground ahead explode into a three-meter-deep crater shaped like the giant's hand. A pressure wave sent him tumbling backward!
"System! Quickly calculate this giant's strength level!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a detailed physical data chart flashed across his vision.
"Cyclops!
Physical Strength: 35!"
Extremely detailed!
"Serious?! Can this System get any more useless?!" Ye Liang muttered.
Ye Liang quickly ran towards the distant jungle.
Ye Liang's physical strength was 30.
However, Ye Liang had previously suffered severe injuries, and his body cells still hadn't recovered, so in an actual fight, his strength might only be at the level of 20.
Plus, Ye Liang knew almost nothing about Cyclops, and couldn't even use his ninjutsu—there was absolutely no way he could win!
"F***! Trapped again!"
Dodging a blow from the Cyclops, Ye Liang hid behind a large tree. The Cyclops was powerful but slow—maybe he could still escape!
Just as he was about to make his escape, the path ahead was blocked!
Another Cyclops appeared!
It looked just like the Little Match Girl, walking straight up to Ye Liang!
