Lin Chen didn't take Leng Dong and the others' attitude to heart. He had already warned everyone, and whether they believed him or not was their own business.
Daylight broke soon after, and the group began to retreat to the outskirts. In line with Lin Chen's suggestion, it was best to regroup with the main force as quickly as possible.
Seeing Lin Chen's cautiousness, Leng Dong and others despised him, thinking that he had disgraced the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Leng Dong and the others treated Lin Chen with such contempt with the intention of enraging him, and then to find an opportunity to fight with Lin Chen in order to quell the dissent among the people.
However, Lin Chen remained unmoved and did not get angered by them, which made Leng Dong and others feel frustrated.
If they did not take the opportunity to get rid of Lin Chen now, once they joined up with the main forces, they would have even less chance.
