"Though I'm not a Spirit Realm Walker, I still have some perspective from sitting in the president's seat of the World Salvation Society," Chen Shu replied with certainty.
She did not keep him in suspense and sighed. "Zhang Zizhen was cursed by the Lunar Moon."
Cursed by the Lunar Moon... Zhang Yuanqing's pupils contracted as he blurted out, "Ling Tuo did it?!"
Turning a peak Day Wanderer into an undead creature and forcing him to immolate himself—if it had been the Lunar Moon Lord, that would explain it.
"So Ling Tuo had already gained control of the Lunar Moon Origin Fragment at that time." Zhang Yuanqing sighed.
Both were Night Wanderers, both peak Sovereigns. Zhang Zizhen had been eroded by the curse and steadily weakened, while Ling Tuo, despite falling, had grown stronger.
He had acquired the Lunar Moon Origin Fragment first and entered the demigod realm.
Chen Shu shook her head. "More accurately, six years ago, when Ling Tuo returned from the dead, he was already half a Lunar Moon Lord. Do you remember the major event your father mentioned? After the Chu Family was wiped out, your father frequently went out to visit old friends and seek help, hoping to kill Ling Tuo once more. Your uncle was involved too."
"They failed to kill Ling Tuo, while Zhang Zizhen was cursed by the Lunar Moon and turned into an undead creature six years later, dying by self-immolation?" Zhang Yuanqing finally understood what had happened and pieced together the events of that year.
Chen Shu shook her head again. "It wasn't a total loss. In that battle, they severely wounded Ling Tuo and tore apart the Lunar Moon Origin."
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils abruptly shrank.
Chen Shu sighed. "That's right. Ling Tuo was already the Lunar Moon Lord back then.
