Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 343 Lin Langsheng, Dark Door

Strategic weapons.

Weapons used to carry out strategic missions, strike enemy strategic targets, or defend friendly strategic strongholds.

They are divided into strategic offensive weapons and strategic defensive weapons.

A strategic weapon system generally consists of high-yield nuclear warheads, long-range delivery and launch systems, and corresponding command, control, and communication systems. Strategic weapons are an important pillar of a nuclear-armed nation's national security strategy.

Strategic offensive weapons: The combat range can be as far as tens of thousands of kilometers, with most nuclear warhead explosion yields ranging from hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT equivalent to millions or even tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent.

The strategic offensive nuclear forces, known as the "triad," are generally composed of systems such as land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and strategic bombers carrying nuclear weapons.

But what is a strategic figure?

In the simplest terms, strategic weapons rely on weapons to complete military strike capabilities and are precision terminal instruments that rely on electronic equipment. Strategic figures also possess this power, but they rely on a single person to complete military strike capabilities.

Such people are called strategic figures, either because they possess powerful martial arts and top-tier military skills, or because they have exceptional intelligence, enabling them to control everything with ease.

Whether it's the former or the latter, they are important individuals!

If Ye Longlin's identity were exposed, even going abroad would become problematic. Although the Great Xia side would certainly allow him passage, the reason would be overseas.

Once he stepped out, he would inevitably be repatriated, that was certain.

No country would want strategic-level figures from an adversarial nation appearing on their territory, as they represent a destabilizing factor.

"That's enough. The more chaotic it gets, the more the Dark Hall will strike. Plus, there are still many spies. Do you think I don't know!"

Ye Longlin rolled his eyes in annoyance and said helplessly.

Lin Langsheng chuckled and changed the subject, asking, "How is Tian'ai?"

If there was anyone Lin Langsheng felt most indebted to in his life, it was Lin Tian'ai.

Lin Tian'ai was also his last daughter, and naturally, he wanted to protect her well. However, due to some historical issues within the capital, she could not appear in public. Even in the records kept in the capital, Lin Tian'ai was listed as his adopted daughter.

The higher one's status, the less freedom one had in their actions.

"The Southern Province branch is now on the right track, and Lin Tian'ai is progressing towards her commercial empire. The general direction is fine. She rented a large apartment on the south side. I haven't visited her; sometimes too much contact can be counterproductive and bring danger. Long Ge has a team protecting her in secret.

If you have time when it's convenient, have your people take over from Long Ge. Long Ge's personnel are already limited, and the new members selected each year are not enough to compensate for those who have sacrificed themselves. It's essentially an unsustainable situation."

Ye Longlin rubbed his temples. The Ox Head and Horse Face beside him exchanged glances. Could this be something for small fry like them to hear? They shrunk their bodies, lowering their presence.

Lin Langsheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't look at me. My Eastern faction is in complete disarray. It's been chaotic for so many years, and tidying it up is a troublesome affair. Technically, I shouldn't even be here, but there's no choice. With the top insufficient, I have to take on multiple roles."

This was indeed true. The Eastern faction's war zone had been chaotic for too long. Everyone wanted to ascend to power, but no one had the capability. This was not as simple as being the head of a district; there were also underlying power struggles involved, with too many deep-seated entanglements. Otherwise, the position of the Eastern faction leader would have changed hands long ago.

Lin Langsheng's first task upon his return was naturally to suppress dissent. However, with the factionalism below, many troublesome matters had to be dealt with.

Moreover, it was not wartime, so he couldn't use executions to quell unrest.

Ye Longlin took out his phone and sent him an address, then said, "I've sent you Lin Tian'ai's address. If you want to see her, go ahead and do so. After all, she's your daughter."

Lin Langsheng didn't look at his phone. Instead, with a gossipy expression, he asked, "Honestly, have you given any thought to your personal matters? Do you really have no feelings for my daughter?"

Ye Longlin remained silent, gazing in the direction of the villa. He sighed deeply and fell silent.

Mu Hanqi's face appeared in his mind, and inevitably, her perfect naked body was revealed to him. As a man, he couldn't ignore a girl who was so open with him.

This required immense courage.

But this gesture had already made Lin Langsheng understand his choice.

Suddenly, Ye Longlin asked, "If a girl is willing to cast aside all her shame for you, and regardless of whether what you do is right or wrong, she is willing to support you wholeheartedly, would you be able to ignore that?"

Lin Langsheng fell silent, then sighed, "I understand. It seems you've made your choice."

"As an elder, I hope to see you get married and have children, have a complete family, and be happy and content."

"However, as someone in power, I don't want you to have any attachments, because attachments also mean weaknesses... In any case, you decide for yourself. I am not you, so I cannot make the choice for you."

After saying this, Lin Langsheng patted Ye Longlin's shoulder and grinned, "Alright, hurry back and rest. By the way, if you've truly decided on Mu Hanqi, then you need to be mentally prepared. The affairs of the Murong family are not easy to get involved in. In a certain sense, the Murong family is even more complex than the Ye family."

Ye Longlin nodded, watched Lin Langsheng leave, and then looked at Ox Head and Horse Face.

"How did you get caught by him?"

Ox Head said helplessly, "It was like this..."

It turned out that after the previous auction, the two had split up with their own objectives. Ox Head was responsible for finding their former disciples, while Horse Face was responsible for finding talented individuals for training. Unexpectedly, they stumbled into Lin Langsheng's territory.

They were targeted by the Zhenwu Division, who sought Lin Langsheng's assistance. Lin Langsheng personally intervened and subdued them. At the critical moment, they claimed to be Ye Longlin's men, thus escaping certain death.

Coincidentally, Lin Langsheng was coming to the Southern Province, so he brought them along.

"How is the development going now?"

The two continued their report: "The small sect where we were located has been wiped out. We painstakingly found some disciples and persuaded them to join the Dark Gate. Currently, the Dark Gate has fifty assassination experts, all at the Martial King level. However, many are facing breakthroughs but lack resources.

If they can obtain resources, within a short period, there will be over a dozen Martial Marquis assassination experts, capable of meeting all your demands."

Ye Longlin nodded, "Not bad. Here's a task for you: keep an eye on the Ninth Elder of the Tian family in Qing City, and report any developments immediately."
