Chapter 37: Within Ten Steps, Everyone is an Enemy

All the distinguished guests who had come to celebrate the Ye Family's longevity were figures of extraordinary status, any one of whom could cause a major tremor in Xia Country with just a stomp of a foot.

But there's an old saying that goes,

"When a common man is angered, blood splatters within five steps; within ten steps, everyone is an enemy of the state."

The meaning of this saying is that even if you wield the power of a whole country and have unparalleled authority, within ten steps, a commoner could take your life.

Moreover, Ye Xuan was no commoner. In his eyes, unless you were among the legendary Immortals, everyone present was no different from ants.

Before these guests could decide their next move, dozens of Ancient Martial Artists took the lead.
