She hadn't gone far when she saw a group of palace maids screaming in panic as they scattered and fled...

A sharp-eyed palace maid spotted Mu Run and rushed towards her, reporting, "Your Majesty, there's a corpse!"

"A corpse man!?" Mu Run's expression changed drastically. She shook off Yong Li, who had been holding her tightly, and lifted her skirt to run away.

But a palace maid stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty cannot go there! Lord Qiao has already surrounded the academy with his men, and entry and exit are prohibited."

Mu Run, "Get out of the way!"

"A corpse has appeared?" Yong Li said, "I'll go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Mu Run turned to look at him, only to see a fleeting afterimage. In the blink of an eye, even the afterimage vanished.

Huanhuan and Tuantuan were escorted over by palace maids and guards, their faces showing barely concealed panic.

They had never encountered anything like this before.

Corpse figures had appeared in the palace before, but they were well protected. This time, it happened suddenly in front of them, which was somewhat frightening.

When Mu Run saw them, she rushed over, her voice trembling with anxiety, "Huanhuan, Tuantuan, are you alright? Where's Zhuangzhuang?"

"Zhuangzhuang is lost, he's not with us." Huanhuan looked behind her.

"What!?" Mu Run immediately rushed in the direction she was looking, instructing the palace guards to protect Huanhuan and Tuantuan and send them back to the palace first.

Mu Run strained his ears, wanting to hear Zhuang Zhuang's voice.

But all that could be heard were panicked screams and frantic sounds of people fleeing; Zhuangzhuang's voice was nowhere to be heard.

However, the mother Gu, which was connected to the son Gu, became quiet at this moment.

This reminded her that Zhuangzhuang should be safe now.

When Qiao Dongzi saw Mu Run approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward and reported, "Sister-in-law, a zombie general who can turn invisible has entered the academy. He bit more than thirty people, infecting them with zombie poison, and these people almost instantly turned into zombies who attacked normal people. However, these newly transformed zombies are different from the previous zombies; the normal people they attacked were not infected again. Currently, all thirty-odd zombies have been killed, and the zombie general who can turn invisible and Zhuang Zhuang have disappeared."

Mu Run's face was extremely grim. "So, Zhuang Zhuang has most likely been captured. Seal off the palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"

"The palace gates have already been closed. However, that corpse general can become invisible."

Qiao Dongzi suddenly stopped talking. In a flash, Mu Run drew the sword from his waist and turned to slash at the back of himself!

Although Mu Run had lost his internal energy, his skills remained sharp. A jet of dark green blood shot out from nowhere, and a headless, naked corpse fell to the ground.

Although Mu Run couldn't see, her hearing was extremely sharp. When the corpse appeared behind her, she heard the faint footsteps and the sudden killing intent. Instinctively, she drew her sword, aiming straight for the corpse's head.

The corpse was also surprised that Mu Run was skilled in martial arts and reacted so quickly. When the severed head rolled to the ground, the corpse was filled with astonishment.

Mu Run looked at his face. "Who is this?"

Qiao Dongzi said, "He is that invisible corpse general!"

Mu Run looked at the corpse. "Zhuang Zhuang wasn't with him."

"Perhaps Zhuangzhuang is hiding." Qiao Dongzi immediately ordered his men to scatter and search for her.

“The Gu worm inside Zhuangzhuang is calm now, so he should be out of danger. However, this calm usually only occurs when he is asleep, so he should be unconscious right now,” Mu Run said to Qiao Dongzi. “I’ll go with you to look for him.”
