"Omg, what is happening?" says a citizen from Longwei City.
"Run!! Run!!! RUN!!!!" Everyone in the city was scared.
"I can't believe the city was actually attacked," stated the young princess of the empire.
The city was all red and everything was turning to ashes. From far off, you could see two people approaching. It was the second young master and the uncle of the crown prince; they had betrayed the royal family and wanted to take over everything.
"So, that's what you guys were plotting, right?" says Xiao Yan, who is very disappointed in his heart.
"Hahhaaaaaahaaaaahaaa! You didn't see that coming, did you, Crown Prince? My father passed the throne to my brother instead of me. Why? Because he thought I was not good enough. I'm truly mad and wanna kill you all!"
The uncle was laughing like a true villain. He took his dagger out, wanting to kill the crown prince.
"Uncle," says Long Haoran, who is walking towards Xiao Yan. "Brother, brother, brother... father actually chose you as the crown prince, didn't he? But you are clearly useless. No core, no power, nothing—not even a good Inner Root. You are not worthy to be called a crown prince, and you know it."
The face of Xiao Yan changed from disappointment to scared and panicked. He had no true power; he was a totally useless son of the palace, but his father saw his true heart and chose him as the crown prince of the Longshen Empire.
"So, Haoran bro, you truly have a bad heart just like father thought about you. You are simply a demon, no human heart."
"What if I am? Tell me. I'm just too powerful; I'm at the divine stage, but look at you. Can't even start the mortal stage. What are you? Trash prince. The one who doesn't deserve to be there. I'm here to collect my throne and my family back, you trash boy."
"Stop!" yelled the dad from afar. Huochen was worried about his son and came. "Haoran, for now, I am the Crown Emperor, so you just take my life. Don't kill your own brother. You too, Hukjiang—give your brother some face and let my sons and daughter go. You can claim the throne."
"Now you are asking for mercy, brother Huochen? When father chose you, you were almighty. Now you are under my feet. Now, die!"
The uncle stabbed the father through the heart with a ruthless face. He had no mercy and wanted just to take over the empire. The young princess, seeing her father die in front of her from far away, started crying and wanted to kill the uncle.
"You murderer! You killed father! I will kill you!" She took her blade while Xiao Yan shouted:
"Take them away, Liehu! Take them all away! Don't let them come here! Save third brother and my two sisters. I will deal with second brother."
Liehu took the third young master and the two princesses and disappeared from the capital. But the uncle had just started the massacre. At this time, the mother was not at the capital, but she was in the Immortal Hall, out of the empire.
"I will kill you, Haoraaaan!"
"Ohh, big bro!! How? Tell me, how? You can't do nothing now. You are just a useless boy that will be crippled under my feet just like your father was."
Just as the brother was about to kill Xiao Yan, a voice talked in his head:
[Balance Breaker successor found]
[Activating system]
"Systemmmmmmmmmmmmm!"
Xiao Yan was surprised; he was actually saved because he had activated the Balance Breaker system.
