However, there was a sense of the mantis stalking the cicada, with the yellow oriole behind, making them perplexed and uncertain about which side was good and which was bad.

Yi Chen drove at top speed, striving to deliver Yi Fei to the Lin Family's villa safely.

On the other hand, Chun Yan and her three senior brothers had already turned around.

While they contacted each other by phone for updates on Yi Chen and Lin Yifei's location, they sped toward their direction.

With time pressing, Lin Yifan also anxiously awaited news from Yi Chen at home.

Yi Chen knew that the real enemy was unlikely to be those chasing from behind, otherwise they would have attacked his vehicle by now.

He guessed that the real enemy might already know his location and escape route; therefore, following the standard escape route would surely lead him into the enemy's encirclement, so he had no choice but to take the back roads.

Taking the back roads had two advantages: it could shake off the vehicles pursuing from behind and also confuse the real enemy.

Therefore, it was an inevitable choice.

Seeing Yi Chen not taking the main road but the back roads, the tracking team became very tense because they were worried they wouldn't be able to keep up and would lose him.

So, they relayed the information to Chun Yan while relentlessly pursuing Yi Chen.

Upon learning that their prey was taking the back roads, Chun Yan sighed at the enemy's cleverness, yet felt an intense frustration.

Now, they had no choice but to change their original plan and follow right behind Yi Chen.

Since Yi Chen was very familiar with the area, he could quickly find his way and approached the Lin Family villa with ease.

Having experienced all this on the road, Lin Yifei felt as if she was in a dream, finding it unbelievable.

She was extremely anxious, very worried that the enemies behind would catch up and seize her.

"Big Brother Yi Chen! Hurry! They're catching up!"

"Miss Yi Fei, don't be afraid, I will get you home safely," Yi Chen soothed.

Now, that was all he could do.

Lin Yifei knew this was already the limit for Big Brother Yi Chen, so she didn't urge him on anymore. Nonetheless, this sense of urgency made her very concerned.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Driving at high speed, Yi Chen's car created a gust of wind, swiftly nearing the Lin Family villa.

Left turns and right, soon he had left the pursuing enemies behind, disappearing into the crisscrossing back roads.

Looking out at the vast maze of paths, the tracking team did not know which one Yi Chen had taken; so, they immediately reported this to Chun Yan for a decision.

When Chun Yan heard that her subordinates had lost their quarry, she cursed them fiercely.

Now, she really didn't know what to do.

"What happened? Did you lose track of them?" the three Divinity Transformation Realm experts asked curiously.

"It seems the plan won't be completed," Chun Yan said, somewhat dejected.

She was so close to capturing Lin Yifei and forcing Lin Yifan into a corner; alas, fate is unpredictable, and Lin Yifei escaped right under her watch.

After shaking off the enemies behind him, Yi Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Without the enemies behind them, the real enemy wouldn't know their location, meaning they were safe.

And seeing no car following from behind, Lin Yifei, sitting in the back seat, also breathed a sigh of relief; her tense and oppressed feelings finally found release.

"Phew! That scared me to death! It's all thanks to Big Brother Yi Chen's superb driving, or else we would have been caught," Lin Yifei said to calm her nerves while simultaneously praising Yi Chen.

"Heh heh!" Yi Chen touched his nose and said with a proud smile, "Don't worry, Miss Yi Fei, I won't let you fall into the enemy's hands."

"Brother Yi Chen, is it worth it for you to risk your life for my brother?" Lin Yifei asked curiously.

"Brother Yifan is like a real brother to me; he gives me jobs, and also provides me with elixirs for cultivation. I think it's worth it," Yi Chen answered.

He was someone who had been expelled from his sect, a drifter; if it wasn't for Lin Yifan lending him money, he might have truly turned to a life of crime.

Moreover, Lin Yifan also gave him elixirs for cultivation, which was an incredibly rare kindness; so he felt that everything he was doing now was worth it.

After hearing Yi Chen's answer, Lin Yifei felt somewhat relieved that her brother's efforts weren't in vain.

A while later, they returned to the Lin family villa.

At that time, the anxious Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia who had been waiting at home immediately rushed out to check on the situation.

Seeing that both Yi Chen and Lin Yifei were safe and sound, Lin Yifan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother! What happened? Why would bad people want to kidnap me?" Lin Yifei asked curiously.

"This matter is a long story. We'd better go back inside and talk about it," Lin Yifan suggested.

"Alright!"

So, everyone entered the villa.

After sitting down, Lin Yifan began to tell Yi Chen and Lin Yifei the whole story, letting them know the specifics of what had happened.

Learning how vicious Chun Yan was, both Yi Chen and Yi Fei couldn't help shuddering.

Fortunately, Lin Yifan had reacted quickly, otherwise they might have really fallen into the hands of Chun Yan and her associates.

"Brother Yifan, do you know who those people were?" Yi Chen asked curiously.

"They might be from the long-disappeared Voodoo Sect," Lin Yifan replied.

"What?"

Hearing this news, both Yi Chen and Jiajia were shocked and couldn't believe this was the result.

"Wasn't the Voodoo Sect already exterminated? How could they still exist?" Jiajia asked, puzzled.

"Being exterminated doesn't mean that all the disciples of the Voodoo Sect were wiped out, so the remnants could very well have made a comeback," Lin Yifan replied.

"How do you know they are people from the Voodoo Sect?" Jiajia continued to probe.

"Their clothes had skull markings, and they used poison, so I guessed they might be disciples of the Voodoo Sect," Lin Yifan replied.

"Are you basing your judgment that they are from the Voodoo Sect solely on these two pieces of information?" Jiajia asked, feeling that this was somewhat arbitrary and reckless.

"Isn't that enough?" Lin Yifan countered.

He didn't dare to mention the Witchcraft Palm for fear that Jiajia, with her keen senses, would notice something amiss.

"Of course not! Don't you know there are many sects and organizations in this world that like to use skulls as their mark? Moreover, many sects use poison; with just these two pieces of information, it doesn't mean they belong to the Voodoo Sect," Jiajia explained.

Yi Chen also agreed with this point of view.

"Then I don't know who they are," Lin Yifan answered.

Since Jiajia and the others didn't believe him, he didn't want to explain further.

"Right now, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, which is very disadvantageous for us. We should be cautious and on guard," Jiajia suggested.

This group of enemies was mysterious and tough to deal with. Having struck once, they might well strike a second time, so they definitely needed to be vigilant.

"Hmm! I think so too!" Lin Yifan agreed with the suggestion.

Fortunately, he hadn't used the true Witchcraft Palm during the fight, so the people from the Voodoo Sect probably weren't certain he possessed the "Witchcraft Secret Manual"; this greatly reduced the danger of being ambushed again.
