"Elder Qi?"
Before Jiang Chen could react, Tangg Ning and Du Haoyu at his side had already gasped, exclaiming in astonishment.
Jiang Chen was stunned, looking at the two in confusion. "Senior Brothers, who is this Elder Qi? Is he an Inner Sect Elder?"
"No!"
Tangg Ning shook his head, a strange expression on his face. "Elder Qi is an Outer Sect Elder!"
"An Outer Sect Elder?" Jiang Chen frowned, a little confused.
As far as he knew, the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect were like a dynasty's provincial territories and its Imperial Capital.
Inner Sect Elders universally held higher status and greater power than Outer Sect Elders, in every respect.
To give a very basic example...
Outer Sect Elders lived on the mountainside of Martial Saint Mountain, while Inner Sect Elders resided on the summit.
