In fact, when Claude said that the first sage did not exist, Hao Ren's astonishment was not as strong as that of White Flame and Teuton.
He had long suspected this. The first sage was so mysterious that her existence seemed too strange even in the demon hunters' community. The first sage was a legendary figure who had not been seen for thousands of years, a leader who relied solely on heralds and servants to deliver the message, and an extreme recluse who never left his room. With these deviant features, who was really sure that the first sage was real?
Was it a spiritual symbol to pacify the mind or merely comfort oneself?
