The Xie Family Ancestor took a deep breath before saying in a heavy voice, "Our family's scouts have confirmed that Zheng Ming has left Dingzhou."
His main purpose in sharing this news was not really about Zheng Ming, but to steer the conversation away from the three words "Heavenly Secret Valley."
Without a doubt, his tactic was successful.
With the Nine Banners of Sky Wolf personally going after Zheng Ming's life, his reputation managed to climb even higher. Almost immediately after the Xie Family Ancestor announced that Zheng Ming had left Dingzhou, representatives from some of the smaller families became restless.
"That Zheng Ming kid is scared too; he wouldn't have come to the Capital City, would he? If he came here, the people from the Skywolf Plains would disregard all rules to hunt him down in the city."
