Chapter 167: Title: Crimson Flame
Spirit City, as the Holy Land of Soul Masters across the mainland, was also divided into different structural hierarchies, carrying different roles.
The The Pope's Palace is the exclusive place of the Pope of Spirit Hall.
The Elder Palace is the power core of Spirit Hall, which can even control the deposition of the Pope.
Douluo Hall holds a more lofty status in Spirit Hall than the The Pope's Palace and Elder Palace, serving as the resting place of Titled Douluos; even the Pope has no right to step into Douluo Hall.
As for the Consecrated Hall, it looks a bit plain and ordinary, but that is also relative.
Only Soul Masters who reach level ninety are qualified to step into the Consecrated Hall and receive their titles here.

Current titles are not like later generations who can freely self-proclaim.
Instead, they need to be formally recognized by Spirit Hall, and then announced layer by layer by the lower-level Martial Soul Basilicas, Main Temples, and Branch Temples, spreading widely across the world.
Only then can they be called a Titled Douluo, and be revered by the world as "Your Highness".
Or they inherit widely known titles passed down through generations, such as Clear Sky, Lightning, Angel, and other honorable titles.
Someone might ask: Merely a title, why is it so troublesome?
That is naturally because the appearance of a title can, to a certain extent, gather the faith of all living beings.
And with faith, there is the possibility of becoming a god at level one hundred.
However, becoming a god at level one hundred has long become a distant legend.
Current titles have also gradually degraded into a symbol of honor.
Spirit City, Consecrated Hall.
Inside the grand hall, it is solemn and majestic.
The tall dome is inlaid with countless gorgeous gems, and relief carvings and murals outlined by various precious metals complement each other.
Golden sunlight passes through the huge stained glass windows, spilling onto the smooth white jade floor, and the air is filled with a faint sacred Aura.
Qian Daoliu stands above the grand hall, wearing a gorgeous robe, with a calm and solemn expression.
At this moment, on the tray in his hand, a red ceremonial robe is placed.
This is a ceremonial dress that only a Titled Douluo is qualified to wear.
In front of him, Ye Xuanyin is dressed in luxurious black attire embroidered with golden patterns, and the phantom of his overlord crimson flame lotus Martial Soul slowly emerges behind him.
The crimson lotus petals exude an overbearing heatwave, and the surrounding air seems to be scorched and distorted.
Qian Daoliu looks at Ye Xuanyin and nods slowly, an angel phantom faintly discernible behind him.
His voice, carrying the heavy sense of accumulated years, spreads throughout the entire grand hall, "Ye Xuanyin, Martial Soul overlord crimson flame lotus, today breaking through level ninety, honored with the title, 'Crimson Flame'!"
He hands the bright red ceremonial robe in his hand to Ye Xuanyin, his tone solemn and gentle: "The glory of a Titled Douluo lies not in power, but in guardianship. May your crimson flame lotus forever burn the fire of justice and illuminate every corner of Douluo Continent."
"Thank you, High Priest!"
Ye Xuanyin receives the ceremonial dress with both hands, his expression solemn.
In an instant, the solemn sound of ceremonial music suddenly arises, accompanied by the heavy bell chimes of the jade tripod, resounding through the entire Spirit City.
Everyone instinctively looks up in the direction of the The Pope's Palace, silently counting the bell chimes in their hearts,
One, two... eight, nine!
Nine bell chimes ringing nine times!
Amidst the crowd, the din gradually rises.
All the bells of Spirit City rang a full nine times, which means that a Douluo-level powerhouse is being crowned with a title in the Consecrated Hall.
Today they witnessed with their own eyes the birth of a newly promoted Titled Douluo.
Who is it?
Who on earth is it?
The identity of this Titled Douluo instantly becomes the focus of everyone's discussion.
To put it bluntly, the appearance of every title is bound to be accompanied by the turbulence of the power pattern.
Ye Xuanyin has just walked out of the Consecrated Hall when Dugu Bo's figure suddenly appears with a smile on his face, "Old Man Ye, how does it feel?"
Ye Xuanyin strokes his beard, lowers his head to glance at the gorgeous red robe on his body, and cannot help laughing out loud, his voice extremely hearty, "Quite good!"
Of course it is quite good!
Before meeting Lin Yang, he thought he could only be a Soul Douluo until he died in this life.
As a result, how many years has it been? Not only did he break through level ninety, but after condensing his Martial Soul core, he went all the way to level ninety-three.
All of this is thanks to that granddaughter's husband.
It's just that this granddaughter's husband is good at everything, except... he is a bit promiscuous.
The two are just about to leave the Consecrated Hall when a figure shrouded in black fog appears out of thin air in front of them.
Gui Mei's gaze first takes a deep look at Dugu Bo, then turns to Ye Xuanyin, his voice dry and hoarse, "Your Highness Crimson Flame, Old Poison... The Pope invites you!"
Dugu Bo sneers, "Old Demon, why hasn't that old paramour of yours come out, and it's your turn to be the errand runner?"
The black fog around Gui Mei surges, showing how bad his mood is, "Old Poison, the debt of you injuring Yue Guan... I'll settle it with you later."
"The two of you, please!"
Ye Xuanyin and Dugu Bo exchange glances, then chuckle lightly, "Good, it's time for this old man to go see Your Highness the Pope."
"Let's go together."
At the The Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong is still as graceful and luxurious, high above.
She first formulaically congratulates Ye Xuanyin on happily receiving his title, and Ye Xuanyin naturally responds conventionally.
After a few polite words, Bibi Dong begins to reveal her true purpose: solicitation.
What she is soliciting is not only Ye Xuanyin, but also Dugu Bo.
In the battle between Dugu Bo and Yue Guan, Yue Guan was heavily injured and suffered a disastrous defeat, and is still in seclusion healing his injuries to this day.
Having lost Chrysanthemum Douluo, Bibi Dong, with only Ghost Douluo left, immediately falls into a dilemma of having no subordinates available.
Spirit Hall does not lack Titled Douluos; what it lacks are titles loyal to her.
Dugu Bo, who defeated Yue Guan, is obviously a very good target for solicitation.
On one hand, Dugu Bo is close to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. If he is solicited over, it will definitely greatly strike the Aura of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
On the other hand, it is naturally because of Dugu Bo's strength.
Although Yue Guan's strength cannot be considered the strongest, his level ninety-five Soul Power is placed here, and he is definitely no ordinary person.
Yet he suffered a disastrous defeat in front of Dugu Bo.
That is enough to prove that Dugu Bo's poison can already threaten most Douluo-level powerhouses.
This is precisely the most terrifying part of him.
Soliciting Dugu Bo alone is equivalent to soliciting a group of Douluo powerhouses.
This deal is profitable no matter how one calculates it.
Therefore, even knowing that Dugu Bo and Spirit Hall have grievances, Bibi Dong is willing to give it a try.
She needs powerhouses like Dugu Bo far too much.
And Ye Xuanyin, although he is the acting head of the Ye family, it does not prevent her from taking him under her command.
Bibi Dong even promises that she will surely support the Ye family to ascend to the position of the Upper Three Sects.
Her abacus calculation is louder than anyone else's.
The pity is that Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin don't care much about the generous conditions she offered.
Status, wealth, cultivation resources—which of these do they lack?
If they are willing, directly joining the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and becoming an existence like a retired emperor would not be a difficult task.
In that case, why bother putting a leash around their own necks?
And when Bibi Dong is soliciting Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin, Gui Mei, standing in the corner, cannot help but feel a chill rising in his heart...
