"Within a power, there were actually people with a status higher than the Vice Sect Master?" Qin Shaofeng looked toward Ximen Li in disbelief.
"It was not that their status was higher, but that their identities were special."
Ximen Li corrected him. "Whether it is High-grade Powers like ours or even stronger Super Grade Powers, all have a group of people unknown to outsiders."
"They have no illustrious status. In the eyes of ordinary disciples, they may merely be somewhat extraordinary disciples, somewhat extraordinary stewards, elders, and the like. But if two powers went to war, the enemy's first targets would be these people, while their own power would spare no effort to protect them."
It was Qin Shaofeng's first time hearing of such a thing. Though shocked, he listened carefully to Ximen Li's explanation.
"This group consisted of two parts."
"The stronger group was called Guardians, while the weaker group was called Seeds. There were many Seeds, and their status was not high, but Guardians were entirely different."
"Moreover, the foremost person among the Guardians possessed a status no less than that of a sect master or gate master of any power. Once a power was shattered, they would become its true number one."
After hearing this, Qin Shaofeng felt completely tossed into disorder by the wind.
At the same time, a special identity surfaced in his mind.
Core Disciple.
At Seven Stars Sect, he was currently receiving the treatment of a Core Disciple.
After all, when the three major powers had come looking for trouble, he had almost single-handedly crushed their scheme, yet he could only receive the treatment.
If something happened, the only people who could possibly be Seeds seemed to be such a group, didn't they?
He knew there was no use guessing wildly here.
