Song Huiyang shook his head, "Valley Master, I don't know about that, but she has also joined the Ice Feather Palace and is now a disciple of the Ice Feather Palace."
“Ice Feather Palace! That little girl is not very old, but the forces behind her are all bigger than the last. No wonder Elder Xue was defeated here.”
"Valley Master, should we take action to avenge Elder Xue?" Song Huiyang asked.
Yin Changdu thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's not provoke Ruan Xiyan for now. Dealing with the Huanyan Pavilion is the important matter."
"We've been planning this for so long, we must take down the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion in one fell swoop this time, and we can't afford any accidents."
"The Illusionary Beauty Pavilion is already a tough nut to crack. If we were to create another enemy like the Yunli Empire now, we would be attacked from both sides, and it would be a losing proposition."
"As for Elder Xue, he offended someone he shouldn't have, and was killed in return. It was his own fault for being weak, and he has no one to blame but himself." Governor Yin said coldly.
"Elder Song, you should focus on preparing for the attack on Huanyan Pavilion. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"Yes, Valley Master, I understand." Song Huiyang bowed and stepped back.

Inside the inn, all the fleeing men in black were dealt with, and it was almost dawn.
The inn, after a night of fighting, was completely destroyed and on the verge of collapse.
This city is near the Ice Feather Palace, and naturally falls under the jurisdiction of the Ice Feather Palace.
The commotion in the city eventually attracted the attention of the Ice Feather Palace's patrolling disciples.
The Ice Feather Palace has a patrol team composed of both inner and outer sect members, which is specifically responsible for handling events that occur within the Ice Feather Palace's sphere of influence.
Each time a member of the patrol team performs a patrol mission, they can receive Ice Points as a reward from Ice Feather Palace.
Only when he saw the people coming did the shopkeeper dare to crawl out from under the table.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on? What happened here?" asked the leading Ice Feather Palace disciple.
"Sir, last night, a group of men in black suddenly broke into the inn, and then there were sounds of fighting. Luckily I dodged quickly, otherwise I might not have survived."
"My lords of Ice Feather Palace, you must do me justice!" the innkeeper pleaded tearfully.
Where is the fight taking place?
"It's on the second floor," the innkeeper pointed in a direction.
“Let’s go up and take a look.” Ma Chen looked at the Ice Feather Palace disciples behind him.
"Yes." Just as the disciples were about to go up, three people suddenly came down the stairs.
They instantly became wary as they looked at the three women who had appeared.
After recognizing the person, Ma Chen said in surprise, "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xiyan looked at Ma Chen, who was dressed in the robes of an Ice Feather Palace disciple, and pondered for a moment, "Who are you?"
There were too many disciples in the Ice Feather Palace, and she was busy cultivating all day long, so naturally she wouldn't know all of them.
“Miss Ruan, my name is Ma Chen. I am an outer disciple. You may not know me, but as a disciple of the Ice Feather Palace, no one is unaware of your name.”
"Miss Ruan, what are you doing here?"
Ruan Xiyan briefly recounted what happened yesterday: "Those were all people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in disguise. They came to kill me, but I killed them instead."
"I will personally discuss this matter with the Palace Master after we return to Ice Feather Palace."
“Alright, if Miss Ruan has nothing else to do here, please go back first. Leave the rest to me.” Ma Chen said politely.
Such a major event as the assassination attempt at the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is not something that an outer disciple like him can interfere with.
Ruan Xiyan nodded. "Thank you."
After Ruan Xiyan and the other two left.
Ma Chen instructed his disciples to begin clearing the corpses from the inn.
They were shocked when they saw Xue Jin's body.
Judging from his strength and attire, he was clearly an elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Even someone like that was killed by Miss Ruan.
Miss Ruan was already quite amazing when she was in the outer sect, but after she went to the inner sect, her strength became even more terrifying.
Ice Feather Palace.
Upon returning to the inner sect, Ruan Xiyan went to Yu Huaiting's residence first and recounted the events that had occurred in Tianxiao City to him.
"The people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts have actually appeared within the territory of my Ice Feather Palace. What are they planning?" Yu Huaiting pondered.
He recently discovered that the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is making some moves again, and he doesn't know what their intentions are.
“They came for me; it’s probably just a personal grudge,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
"Fortunately, young friend Ruan, you were not injured," Yu Huaiting said. "Young friend Ruan, you must be more careful in the future."
“The people of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts are vengeful. You killed one of their elders, so I’m sure the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts won’t let this go.”
"But don't worry, you are a disciple of my Ice Feather Palace. Before the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts makes a move against you, they will think twice. My Ice Feather Palace will give you the greatest protection."
"Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master."
Yu Huaiting then turned his gaze to Yingxue and Tinghe behind Ruan Xiyan.
"These two must be the people Elder Zhou and Elder Shen mentioned to me earlier, right?"
"Yes, they are Yingxue and Tinghe."
Yingxue and Tinghe greeted each other, saying, "Greetings, Palace Master."
Yu Huaiting nodded in satisfaction, "They are indeed two promising talents."
"Elder Zhou and the others have already spoken to me about this, and I have agreed to it. Although you are not disciples of my Ice Feather Palace, since you have been accepted as disciples by Elder Zhou and the others, you can settle down and live in Ice Feather Palace from now on."
Since Yingxue and the others are not disciples of the Ice Feather Palace, they naturally do not need to abide by the rule that Ice Feather Palace disciples need to accumulate a million Ice Points to enter the inner sect.
However, they also cannot enjoy the cultivation resources of the Ice Feather Palace.
When they entered the Ice Feather Palace, they simply followed Elder Zhou and Elder Shen to study the arts of alchemy and weapon crafting.
After leaving Yu Huaiting's place, Ruan Xiyan took Yingxue and Tinghe to see Elders Zhou Che and Shen Qi.
They've been waiting for so long, they can't wait any longer.
She would even go to Ruan Xiyan every few days to ask where Yingxue and the other two were.
When Ruan Xiyan walked into Zhou Che's courtyard, she saw Shen Qi there as well.
The two of them were sitting on chairs in the courtyard talking when they heard a noise coming from the doorway and turned to look.
"Young friend Ruan! What brings you here today?"
After Zhou Che finished speaking, he saw the two young girls following behind Ruan Xiyan and his eyes lit up. "Young friend Ruan, who...who are these two?"
Ruan Xiyan gestured to Yingxue and Tinghe.
The two women stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Elders."
"Alright, alright, no need for formalities." Shen Qi chuckled as he looked at Yingxue and Tinghe in front of him. "Please sit down."
Ruan Xiyan looked at Zhou Che and the others, "Elder Zhou, Elder Shen, I'm entrusting these two people to you."
"Don't worry, young friend Ruan," Zhou Che assured him, "My disciple will definitely not be bullied."
