The Divine Wind’s mouth was gaping wide, revealing a set of brilliantly shining white teeth. He seemed as if he had discovered a "new continent," exclaiming, "You actually don’t know about the Wuji Five Treasures? Are you even from the Wuji Continent?" Actually, I’m really not. I’m just someone who stopped by to ’buy some soy sauce’ and inadvertently got handed a ’nice guy card’, settling down to become a permanent resident, thought Yun Sheng, pursing her lips. She wasn’t surprised by Divine Wind’s identity, as Wenren Xu had mentioned long ago that Divine Wind was likely a member of the Xianju Royal Family. What she hadn’t expected was that he would be a Prince of Xianju. "The Wuji Five Treasures aren’t humans. No, that’s incorrect, they are humans, referring to the five peerless and precious young geniuses that have risen on the continent in the past five years. They are respectively the First Jade, Second Prince of Tang Yuan, Li Shao, the second jade Penglai Regent King Ji Ru Mo, the Third Jade of the Xianju Shenfeng clan, hehe, just the humble me, the Fourth Jade Prince of Hou Qin, Dugu Xiu, the Fifth Jade..." Divine Wind had not yet finished speaking when he was interrupted by a disdainful snort from the Dark Crown Prince. Flawless like fine jade... truly impeccable, Yun Sheng glanced at the two men. Speaking of charisma and appearance, these two men, if placed in the modern era, would definitely be heartthrobs and superstars on screen, and with their family background and cultivation, they suit the epithet of the nation’s precious jades. "How dare you rank yourself before me, presumptuously claiming to be the Third Jade?" The Dark Crown Prince was very dissatisfied with Demon Wind’s explanation, as a dense oppressive aura emanated from him. From all around, the air seemed to have been sucked dry in an instant. Yun Sheng suddenly found it difficult to breathe. A heavy aura of slaughter, that Dark Crown Prince must be one who has traversed over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the fighting spirit he cultivates must also be of a murderous kind. Suddenly, a breeze brushed against the face, dispersing that almost suffocating heavy aura of slaughter. Divine Wind’s glittering eyes also contained a hint of concern as he looked at Yun Sheng, "Dugu Xiu, that ranking is universally acknowledged by everyone. If you have a temper, direct it at me, why vent it on her?" Seeing Divine Wind react as if someone had struck at his sore spot, the Dark Crown Prince’s profound eyes deepened even more, "Divine Wind, the other’s rankings were determined according to the order of their birth year, month, and day. Yet, you and I were born on the exact same date. Why do you get to rank before me? As I’ve said, unless you and I have a genuine face-off, don’t you ever dare to claim before anyone that you are the third of the Wuji Treasures." Damn, Yun Sheng figured it out. It turns out the reason these two proud Princes and Crown Princes can’t see eye to eye is all because of a dispute over the ranking order of the Wuji Five Treasures. The Dark Crown Prince came looking for a challenge. "Who says the one with stronger strength should be ranked higher? If you want to challenge someone so badly, challenge Xia Wenxu," Demon Wind was also infuriated. He was having a good conversation with the little loli, and then this sarcastic guy had to show up halfway and spoil the mood. "Xia Wenxu is also one of the Wuji Five Treasures? Shouldn’t the last of the Wuji Five Treasures be the Crown Prince of Dazhou?" Upon hearing the name Xia Wenxu, Yun Sheng finally reacted. Based on what Divine Wind just said, she had thought that the last of the Wuji Five Treasures would be someone from the Da Zhou people. "The Crown Prince of Dazhou? That useless good-for-nothing, how could he possibly be ranked alongside us," Divine Wind’s face showed utter disdain, and it was no wonder he reacted like this. Recalling her time at the Royal Magic Academy, the Crown Prince Ye Beilian of Dazhou was touted as the number one figure at the Royal Magic Academy, but he was simply a Great Magic Director. Compared to Divine Wind and the Dark Crown Prince, without mentioning specific cultivation, just their appearance and temperament left Ye Beilian far behind. As for Xia Wenxu from the Magic Temple, although his status is not as noble as the other four, his position was taken over by his magic talent and the influence of the Magic Temple, replacing the useless Crown Prince of Dazhou, to become the Unranked Fifth Rank. The order of the Five Treasures was indeed based on the sequence of their fame and age. Among them, Tang Yuan and Li Shao are the eldest at nineteen years old this year, while Xia Wenxu is the youngest at about fifteen. But when it came to Dugu Xiu and Divine Wind, both happened to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, of similar ages. Somehow, Divine Wind ended up ranked in front of Dugu Xiu. As for who among the Wuji Five Treasures was the strongest, opinions varied widely across the continent. However, Xia Wenxu’s strength was universally acknowledged to be within the top three of the Wuji Five Treasures. Feeling slightly resentful, Divine Wind said sourly, "Little loli, how can you recognize Xia Wenxu and not know who I am?" Divine Wind felt quite displeased in his heart. Being the Divine Wind King of Xianju, he was a favored child of the heavens and normally didn’t put Xia Wenxu in his eyes. Divine Wind was temperamental like a child, clear about his likes and dislikes. Just a moment ago he was all smiles with Yun Sheng, but now his face was full of sourness. Yun Sheng and Xia Wenxu seemed quite familiar with each other, which inexplicably filled Divine Wind with a sense of sourness. "Enough, to fight or not to fight," the Dark Crown Prince had no time to listen to Divine Wind rambling on. It was precisely this dissatisfaction with the rankings that had sparked the Dark Crown Prince Dugu Xiu to relentlessly pursue Divine Wind across the continent since five years ago when the title of the Wuji Five Treasures surfaced. Unfortunately, Divine Wind was elusive, rarely leaving Xianju. In the few encounters they had, Divine Wind always relied on his tricky Wind Elf movement technique to escape at full speed, eluding Dugu Xiu. It was not until this time that Hei San, due to the B-level assessment, inadvertently suffered a stone attack from Divine Wind, which still retained a trace of magic aura, allowing the Dark Crown Prince to trace his steps and come here. "Fight, of course we’ll fight. But before that, try catching up to me," Divine Wind smirked cunningly. He suddenly embraced Yun Sheng around her slender waist, a pair of emerald Wind Wings appeared on his back, and with a push of his long legs against the ground, he shot up into the sky. In a true head-to-head confrontation, Divine Wind might not be stronger than the Dark Crown Prince, but when it comes to escaping, except for a few aged beings in the great nations, among the younger generation, no one dares to claim they could outrun second-ranked Divine Wind King. That’s also why Dugu Xiu had not managed to catch Divine Wind for over five or six years. But this time, the Dark Crown Prince came prepared. "The same old trick. Do you think, I, the Crown Prince, will let you escape again," the Dark Crown Prince’s brow furrowed tightly as the Qilin Battle Armor clattered. He moved as if treading on clouds, swiftly pursuing Divine Wind. If it was just Divine Wind alone, Dugu Xiu might not be able to catch up to him, but this time Divine Wind was also carrying Yun Sheng, which would somewhat affect his movement technique. Divine Wind in front, the Dark Crown Prince behind – both were among the top-tier of the younger generation. On the streets of Daoye Mountain, two figures flashed by so quickly that the Hunter Soldiers could only see a glimpse of their silhouettes. "Who was that? Such fast movement techniques." The answer they got was but a blur of shadows. Seeing the chaos in the city, Divine Wind simply held onto Yun Sheng and didn’t let go, running straight for the city outskirts.
