Chen Wuyue naturally knew that the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City wanted him to hand over Lin Fei because they were after the Martial Saint Heart Sutra.

As for Lin Fei being sent by Lin Zheng to avenge Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu, that was merely their high-sounding excuse.

Lin Fei was the grandson of his savior Lin Zheng, and also had a marriage contract with Chen Xinyi.

Chen Wuyue, of course, would not hand Lin Fei over to the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City.

"Esteemed guests, I'm sorry, but I cannot hand over Lin Fei. Also, those from the Deng and Liu families that you captured, both the military and the police will not allow you to harm the innocent." Chen Wuyue, with determined expression, spoke to Sima Qing and the others.

Sima Qing and his companions exchanged glances, mocking expressions appearing on their faces.

Sima Qing smiled, "Chen Wuyue, if you don't hand over Lin Fei, then, I'm sorry to say, Deng Fangzhen, Liu Yunzhen, and their families might very well disappear from this world forever."

"As for your military and the police, without evidence, what can you do to me?"

Chen Wuyue frowned and said, "Four Eccentrics of the Capital City, if so many lives from the Deng and Liu families were to die at your hands, our military would thoroughly investigate, sparing no effort."

After saying this, Chen Wuyue stood up from his meditation mat, looked at Sima Qing, and said, "I believe Deng Fangzhen and Liu Yunzhen would not want me to hand over Lin Fei either. They wouldn't sit by while other innocents died at your hands. Their vengeance, I will avenge for them. Farewell."

Having spoken, Chen Wuyue no longer looked at the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City and turned to walk towards the door.

However, at that moment, a figure flashed across, overwhelmingly powerful, and in the next instant, Sima Qing appeared at the doorway, blocking Chen Wuyue's path.

And when Chen Wuyue looked at the living room, the windows on either side were blocked by the other three: Gongsun Lan, Hei Wuya, and Bai Yingtang.

In other words, Chen Wuyue could neither exit through the door nor the windows.

Chen Wuyue's gaze was cold as he looked at Sima Qing and said, "Sima Qing, what is the meaning of this?"

At this moment, the enmity between the two parties was clear. Chen Wuyue no longer called Sima Qing 'senior' and directly addressed him by name.

Sima Qing laughed coldly and said, "Chen Wuyue, you think you can leave without handing over Lin Fei?"

Chen Wuyue said, "Do you intend to deal with me? Don't forget, I am still a Three Stars. If anything happens to me, the military will grind you to dust."

"Also, if I do not safely leave here in an hour, I'm sorry, but my three thousand elite Dragon Thorns at the foot of the mountain will engulf Cloud-Entering Peak in a storm of firepower, and by then, you might not escape either."

"Heh, Chen Wuyue, you think that deploying three thousand elite soldiers at the foot of the mountain will trap us at Cloud-Entering Peak? You're underestimating us." Sima Qing laughed, completely dismissive of what Chen Wuyue said.

"I advise you to order your three thousand elite soldiers at the foot to disperse and obediently stay in the Exiled Immortal Tower. Only when you bring Lin Fei will you be able to leave safely. Moreover, Deng Fangzhen and Liu Yunzhen will also be safely removed from danger."

However, Chen Wuyue resolutely said, "What if I refuse?"

Sima Qing sneered coldly and said, "Even though you are a Three Stars, do you think we dare not do anything to you? But I am confident we can keep you obediently staying here."

Chen Wuyue knew Sima Qing could indeed keep him at the Exiled Immortal Tower.

"Very well, if you want me to stay here, then I'll stay here." With that, Chen Wuyue sat down on the ground, determined not to hand over Lin Fei.

"You seem very confident, but being kept here by us might cause panic among your descendants, and they'll come here. If they believe we are disrespecting you and mistakenly get injured, it would not be good if a fight breaks out and they get hurt." Sima Qing said with a sinister expression.

Chen Wuyue's expression turned grave; what Sima Qing said was indeed a possibility.

Now he could only hope that his sons and grandsons would not find their way here.

"Sima Qing, release Elder Chen, and do not harm a single hair on the Chen family!" At this moment, an indisputable cold voice came from outside the door.

Not only were Sima Qing, Gongsun Lan, and the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City surprised and curious, but Chen Wuyue also glanced outside, and he saw it was Lin Fei standing in the courtyard.

He was taken aback, full of surprise: how did Lin Fei get here?

Could it be that after I had set out, he secretly followed me here?

"Lin Fei, don't worry about me, quickly leave!" Chen Wuyue realized and hurriedly shouted to Lin Fei with concern.

However, Lin Fei remained relaxed, showing no sign of tension, and said to Chen Wuyue, "Elder Chen, it's me they want. You should leave first! I don't want to drag you and your family into this."

The Four Eccentrics of the Capital City exchanged glances, excitement flashing in their eyes. They hadn't expected that the Lin Fei they were searching for would walk right into their hands; truly, fate smiled upon them!

"Chen Wuyue, did you hear that? The young man said it doesn't concern you. If you continue to meddle, we won't let you off." Sima Qing reminded Chen Wuyue.

"Sima Qing, I'm sorry, but I cannot ignore Lin Fei's matter. Unless I'm dead, I will not relent." Chen Wuyue resolutely and firmly said to Sima Qing.

Sima Qing's expression turned unsightly to the extreme.

He raised his fingers, and with a swish, a streak of azure Martial Venerable Qi pierced through the air, striking a point on Chen Wuyue's body, sealing his acupoint and rendering him immobile.

Inner Qi projected, striking acupoints from a distance — this was the power of a Martial Venerable.

"Sima Qing, release me!" Chen Wuyue shouted angrily.

However, Sima Qing and the other three eccentrics exchanged glances and ignored Chen Wuyue. Their figures flashed, and they were already in the courtyard, each standing in a position that surrounded Lin Fei.

Lin Fei's face remained calm, staring at the Four Eccentrics of the Capital City equally, and said, "Do not harm Elder Chen, and take me to see Duan Xing. I want to see Deng Fangzhen and Liu Yunzhen and their families safe and sound, and then release them. If you do these, I will hand over the Martial Saint Heart Sutra that you want. If you refuse me, even if I die, I will not hand over the Martial Saint Heart Sutra. You wouldn't want to miss out on the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, would you?"

Sima Qing and his companions showed a look of delight; indeed, they were after the Martial Saint Heart Sutra.

As for Deng Fangzhen, Liu Yunzhen, and Chen Wuyue, they were not the targets of Sima Qing and the others. These people were merely their bargaining chips to acquire the Martial Saint Heart Sutra.

Now it seemed these chips were playing a significant role.

"Alright, we agree to your conditions. Now we will take you to meet Duan Xing, as well as the people from the Deng and Liu families. As for Chen Wuyue, the soldiers outside that he brought will safely escort him back to the Capital City." Sima Qing, eyes gleaming, said.
