When Bai Wanli took off with the five other elders, Jiang Fei nudged Ariel's shoulder and said, "Let's go with them."
Ariel nodded and followed Jiang Fei on foot. The distance between the martial artists and the Mutants was no more than 5 kilometers. The two did need to teleport as 5 kilometers was a short distance for a martial artist. They took less than 3 minutes to cover that distance.
Concurrently, Vine Demon and his team of Mutants were hiding in the forest packed with trees. They felt truly safe from the martial artists since they knew that they had no access to tracking or surveillance technology.
Unfortunately for them, Jiang Fei, with the help of 0541, had already had their location locked on. He had fed that information to Bai Wanli's group. There was no need to turn left and right. All they needed to do was to head straight in one direction and they would clash with the Mutants.
