Cloud-Entering Peak, the renowned mountain on the outskirts of the Capital City, is the highest peak within several hundred miles.

The mountain is lush with verdant trees, and between the sheer cliffs, waterfalls cascade from the heavens, while birds fly high above. The majestic summit of Cloud-Entering Peak seems to stand among the clouds, shrouded in mist, with a picturesque and spectacular view.

At the summit, there is an ancient building hundreds of years old, with red walls and green tiles, intricately carved beams and painted rafters, standing amidst the clouds and mist—it is called the Exiled Immortal Tower, as if it were a residence for immortals.

The Exiled Immortal Tower was built by ancient hermits, and over the centuries, it has welcomed countless individuals who enjoy peace and solitude.

Buzzing sound.

As the morning sunlight just begins to spill over the green tiles of the Exiled Immortal Tower amidst light mist, the sound of helicopter rotor blades can be heard from the sky.

A helicopter, flashing in the morning light, slowly descends onto the stone-paved plaza in front of the Exiled Immortal Tower on Cloud-Entering Peak.

After the helicopter stops, the cabin door opens, and an elderly man with a tall, vigorous figure steps down from the helicopter—it is none other than Chen Wuyue.

Chen Wuyue looks back and says, "Wait for me here, I will go inside to discuss matters."

"Commander, we must protect your safety without leaving your side," someone says firmly.

Chen Wuyue's face shows a slight smile as he gazes at the Immortal Tower.

He knows that, given the strength of the tower's owner, it's not that they won't pose a threat—they are an unmatched foe, even for Chen Wuyue.

This is because the owner of the Exiled Immortal Tower is one of the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City.

Chen Wuyue understands that if relying solely on martial power, he could not leave safely today.

The reason he dares to meet the Four Eccentrics is not his martial prowess but his military rank and position.

The people within the tower must also understand this.

"No need. If the people inside want my life, you wouldn't be able to protect me. They won't endanger my life," Chen Wuyue said, then proceeded towards the Exiled Immortal Tower.

The soldiers' faces showed hesitation; they wanted to follow the commander inside, but his orders were not to do so.

They dared not follow, and could only watch helplessly as Chen Wuyue walked towards the Exiled Immortal Tower.

On both sides of the tower's entrance, stood four young men dressed in blue.

Seeing Chen Wuyue approach, the leading blue-clad man calmly said to Chen Wuyue, "You must be Commander Chen?"

Chen Wuyue nodded, "Is Elder Sikong inside?"

"Sima Martial Venerable has been waiting for some time. Please follow me inside, Commander," the blue-clad man said.

Then, Chen Wuyue followed the blue-clad man into the Exiled Immortal Tower.

Inside the tower, the courtyard was planted with flowers and grass, exuding a fragrant scent, with flowers in full color.

The blue-clad man led Chen Wuyue into a spacious living room within a pavilion.

This living room was devoid of any furnishings, with all four windows open, letting sunlight stream in and making the room very bright.

The scent from the garden also wafted in, refreshing the spirit.

Spotlessly clean, the marble-floored living room glittered, with four elderly men with shoulder-length white hair seated on four mats.

These elderly men, despite their large robes, could not hide their decrepit appearance; they resembled withered old trees.

Yet at the same time, they exuded an immense, invisible aura of reverence.

This aura is unmatched even by ordinary strong individuals.

These four elderly men were the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City: Sima Qing, Gongsun Lan, Hei Wuya, and Bai Yingtang.

"The four Martial Venerables, the commander is here," the blue-clad man respectfully said to the Four Eccentrics in the living room.

Sima Qing nodded and waved his hand, "You may leave first."

"Yes, Sikong Martial Venerable." The blue-clad man promptly exited the living room.

Sima Qing pointed to one of the mats in the living room, saying to Chen Wuyue, "Please have a seat, Chen Wuyue."

Chen Wuyue said, "Thank you, Elder Sikong."

Then he stepped forward and sat down on the mat.

"Chen Wuyue, you should know why we, the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City, have called you here today?" Sima Qing looked at Chen Wuyue and said.

"I know." Chen Wuyue nodded, his gaze fixed on Sima Qing, and said, "Elder Sima, I don't know how the Deng family and the Liu family offended you, prompting you to take action against them?"

Sima Qing's face showed a slight smile as he said, "You might not believe it when I say it. This time we took action against Deng and Liu because we want you to hand over someone."

Chen Wuyue frowned slightly, vaguely guessing who Sima Qing referred to, but still feigned ignorance, "You want me to hand over someone?"

"Exactly, this person is in your base." Sima Qing's gaze fixed on Chen Wuyue, as if trying to see through him, "This person is Lin Zheng's disciple, Lin Fei."

Although Chen Wuyue tried to remain calm, a storm was raging in his heart; sure enough, Sima Qing and the others were targeting Lin Fei!

"Lin Fei, I don't know him." Chen Wuyue shook his head, assuming a look of perplexity.

"Chen Wuyue, you can pretend not to know; however, if you don't hand over Lin Fei, your old friends Deng Fangzhen and Liu Yunzhen, along with their children, might lose their lives," Sima Qing warned coldly.

Anger flashed in Chen Wuyue's eyes as his fists clenched tightly.

"Why, do you want to make a move?" At that moment, Gongsun Lan, dressed in blue robes, raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully.

Chen Wuyue indeed wanted to, wanting to teach these Four Eccentrics who kidnapped his friends and family a harsh lesson, to let them know the consequences of their actions.

However, Chen Wuyue knew this could only be a thought; if he really tried to fight, with his Martial Emperor strength, he would be no match for the Martial Venerable strength of the Four Eccentrics.

"Elder Sima, Elder Gongsun, what exactly do you want with Lin Fei?" Chen Wuyue looked at the Four Eccentrics, almost pleading, "As long as you release him, I can agree to anything you ask."

Sima Qing chuckled coldly, "You finally stopped pretending to know nothing? But you're mistaken; it's not what we want to do to him, but what he wants to do to us."

"Wants to kill you?" Chen Wuyue looked puzzled.

Sima Qing said, "Chen Wuyue, it seems you don't know yet—Lin Fei killed Duan Tianlong and the Four Emperors of Hidden Kill, and crippled Duan Yifeng's martial skills. Duan Xing told us that Lin Fei was sent by Lin Zheng to avenge Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu!"

"Back then, Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu refused to make the Martial Saint Heart Sutra available for all heroes to read, to promote Huaxia's martial arts. Lin Yunxiao's selfish monopoly angered the heroes of the world.

Ultimately, we were forced to campaign against Lin Yunxiao, and now Lin Zheng has sent his disciple to seek revenge for his son, intending to stir trouble in the Capital. How can we sit idly by?"

Chen Wuyue looked at Sima Qing disbelief—this was clearly framing Lin Fei!

He knew that Lin Fei killed Duan Tianlong and crippled Duan Yifeng because they sought to kill Lin Fei.

What outraged him more was that the Four Eccentrics of the Capital were involved in the siege against Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu years ago, motivated by greed for the Martial Saint Heart Sutra; yet, they now claimed to be promoting Huaxia's martial arts by borrowing the Sutra.

Shamefully, they accused Lin Yunxiao of selfishly monopolizing the Heart Sutra, arousing public outrage, leading to the heroes of the world taking action against him.

These Four Eccentrics are the most shameless people Chen Wuyue has ever seen.
