While still thinking about this mysterious Guildmaster, Zuri leaned in closely and whispered into John's ears.
"There's also rumors that the previous Guildmaster, the one who established the Guild all those years ago never actually died, but instead handed the reigns to the current Guildmaster. According to these rumors, the first Guildmaster still lives, and operates in the shadows," she whispered and paused for a moment, then continued. "And some of the rumors state that the first Guildmaster is even stronger than the current one."
John's eyes widened slightly, the thought of someone stronger than an Early Holy Manifestation cultivator. That was someone even stronger than the Grand Abbot, and most likely strong enough to fight evenly against the Jade Dragon Emperor. Even though the Jade Dragon Emperor was wounded and far from his peak power, that was still a frightening level of power.
