Living in the Netherworld, and holding a grudge against the two Western Saints, who could possibly satisfy these two conditions other than the long lost and legendary ancestor of the Underworld River?
In a distant era, a great war broke out between the Asura and Buddhism Dao.
The result was a crushing defeat for the Asura faith. The whole Asura clan surrendered to Buddhism Dao, and the whereabouts of the Underworld River, the leader of the Asura religion, became unknown.
If one were to say that the Ghost Emperor Fengdu is the incarnation of the Underworld River ancestor, it would all make sense. The incarnations of the two Western Saints were acting against the Ghost Emperor Fengdu, intending to cut the grass and remove the roots once they discovered his true identity.
Not giving the ancestor of the Underworld River a chance to return to worldly life.
Of course, these were all Jiang Chen's speculations and the truth needed further confirmation in the future.
