The organizational structure of the Hehuan Sect has the Master at the top, followed by the four palace masters, and an independent line of the Saintess.
Generally speaking, the Master of the Hehuan Sect is from the Saintess lineage, while the four palace masters are more like imperial relatives, sharing the fate of the sect.
After Li Huanyan's return to the Hehuan Sect, only the Goddess Palace Master Xue Yiny'e and the Dual Cultivation Palace Master Tong Juncai were left of the four palace masters.
The remaining two palace masters are now beheaded and dead.
There's no doubt that both Goddess Palace Master Xue Yiny'e and Dual Cultivation Palace Master Tong Juncai are the core lineage of Li Huanyan, and could be seen as her best friends or predecessors.
They were both older than Li Huanyan, and both have late-Mahayana stage cultivation bases, and had placed their bets on Li Huanyan early on.
