Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

As dawn broke the following day, news of the horrifying events in both Azurewind City and Snowstone City rapidly spread throughout the Yin Kingdom. The shocking revelations sent waves of panic and disbelief coursing through the populace, throwing the entire country into an uproar. In Azurewind City, the guards and city lord had mysteriously disappeared without a trace, while in Snowstone City, lifeless and desiccated corpses littered the streets, their vitality drained away as if by some malevolent force. The once-peaceful kingdom was now gripped by a pervasive sense of dread, as people from all walks of life found themselves questioning what could have possibly caused such devastating and mysterious incidents.

Fear and uncertainty spread like wildfire, fueled by countless whispered rumors and theories. The inhabitants of the Yin Kingdom found themselves unable to shake off the unsettling feeling that their world had been upended overnight. As the news continued to travel far and wide, the collective anxiety of the people only intensified, casting a dark shadow over the once-thriving nation.

Unbeknownst to the people of the Yin Kingdom, the tragic events that unfolded in Azurewind City and Snowstone City were just the beginning of a terrifying new chapter in their history.

In the aftermath of the attacks on Azure Wind and Snowstone City, the assaults only grew in frequency and intensity. Each night, two new cities or towns would fall prey to the mysterious assailants, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Guards, officials, and mayors were systematically massacred, and every last resource in the cities' treasuries plundered. It quickly became apparent that these targeted assaults were focused on areas under the control of either the Frost Peak Sect or the Divine Wind Sect.

Before long, the campaign of terror expanded to include cities owned by the Yang family, the Royal family, and the Starfall Sect. As these powerful groups struggled to formulate a response, the assailants pressed their advantage, striking against the vassal sects and families allied with the Royal Alliance. The evidence was mounting that the Sky Soaring Sect was behind the orchestrated attacks. Within a month, over twenty sects, cities, and towns had been brutally decimated and left utterly devastated.

The atmosphere across the Yin Country had become one of palpable fear and anxiety. The scale and ferocity of the attacks were unprecedented, leaving citizens in a constant state of unease. The most vulnerable were the vassal families, sects, and city lords who had aligned themselves with the Royal Alliance. They lived in the suffocating grip of constant dread, acutely aware that they could be the next target, and that their homes and loved ones could be attacked and destroyed without warning.

They could not sleep soundly, and anxiety weighed heavily upon their hearts.

In the east of Yin Kingdom, there was a well-known city called Moonlight Haven. This city was a vassal city of the Starfall Sect. Moonlight Haven was famous for its vibrant night markets, grand temples, and beautiful gardens illuminated by the silvery glow of the moon. The city was a hub for scholars, traders, and artisans who brought wealth and culture to its streets.

It was nighttime in Moonlight Haven, and half of the population was sleeping. Everything looked normal, but if you looked closely, you would see that the guards of the city were on high alert. Ever since the news of attacks on various vassal towns and sects of the Starfall Sect was heard by the people of these cities, they all slept with one eye open, worried that they could be the next target. However, the guards and people of Moonlight Haven were relatively less worried as this city was one of the essential trading hubs that supported the Starfall Sect, so the sect had sent a Nascent Soul level cultivator to protect the city.

Two guards standing on the wall surrounding the city were alert, looking around to ensure everything was normal.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, gray-colored Qi appeared behind them, and before they could realize what was going on, the gray Qi swallowed them. When the gray Qi disappeared, there were two dry corpses on the ground with no vitality in them.

Soon, the same thing happened to other guards on the wall and those protecting the main gate of the city. Gray Qi would come out of nowhere, swallow them, and when the Qi left, there would be dried corpses with no vitality. Guards on the city wall kept falling like flies.

One of the guard leaders on a watchtower of the city noticed this and immediately raised the alarm. The Nascent Soul cultivator from the city lord's mansion flew out with him, followed by twenty Golden Core cultivators. They flew towards the alarm, and when they reached the tower, they saw the dried-up corpse of the guard who had rung the alarm.

They all became alert and started looking for clues, but suddenly their medallions rang, indicating that the city lord's mansion was under attack. When they reached the mansion, they realized that everyone in the city lord's mansion had become a dried corpse.

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Starfall Sect was furious. He took out a treasure. This treasure could help him find the enemy, and the treasure showed that the enemy was standing right behind him. When the Nascent Soul cultivator turned around, he saw gray Qi swallowing a Golden Core cultivator behind him.

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Starfall Sect yelled, "Attack!"

Everyone, Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators alike, attacked the gray Qi that was swallowing the Golden Core cultivator together. Some used arrows; others unleashed wind attacks and a few slashed sword Qi at the mysterious gray Qi.

Despite their efforts, the gray Qi did not stop. It swallowed the Golden Core cultivator, and when the gray Qi finally disappeared, they saw the dismantled, dried-up corpse of the Golden Core cultivator. All the attacks they had unleashed had not hurt the gray Qi that swallowed the Golden Core cultivator, but the attacks had struck the corpse of the Golden Core cultivator, who had been swallowed by the gray Qi.
