Background & Mandate

Qianlong operates above ordinary law-enforcement bodies in matters of national security. When it formally assumes a case, local agencies are required to obey its orders because the matter is treated as an affair of state 236.

Its work encompasses countering genetic crime, foreign infiltration, espionage, anomalous threats, and hostile organizations. Qianlong had monitored and researched the biologically unusual Tashan region for years, while maintaining secure facilities for extraordinary suspects 7.

Hydra is identified as Qianlong's greatest enemy and the world's greatest criminal organization. Qianlong's training materials frame confronting Hydra as the ultimate duty of its members 19.

Organization

Leadership

Position	Known details
Dragon Head	Supreme leader of Qianlong. His true identity is known only to Great Xia's national leaders 88.
Seven highest decision-makers	The Dragon Head; the principal and deputy Red Banner masters; the Chief Decision Bureau; the Second Strategy Bureau; and two reclusive elders of unknown duties 446.
Heavenly Kings	Qianlong's highest-recognized combat agents. Heavenly Kings may wield the Qianlong Command Token, which compels compliance during operations 362.
Hidden Dragon Gold Medals	Elite operatives whose smaller numerical designations generally signify greater strength; the top fifty are regarded as peerless figures 142.
Reservists	Probationary candidates for a Qianlong Gold Badge. Each begins with 100 points, gaining or losing points through merit and regulatory violations 20.

Qianlong fields one hundred thousand elites as part of Great Xia's defense against extraordinary threats 456.

Recruitment and Assessment

Qianlong recruits through two paths:

• Mainstream selection — exceptional soldiers from major military regions and elite police officers.
• Civilian selection — unconventional candidates drawn from ordinary society 15.

Candidates are judged on more than combat ability. Their worldview, sense of responsibility, vigilance, observation, and moral character are all assessed for suitability to carry major responsibility 19.

The organization maintains strict admission regulations. Lin Xiaosu's entry was once blocked under Article 177 of the Qianlong Regulations, which bars certain close relatives of serious offenders; Changye and No. 88 disputed the application of that rule to his grandfather's accidental homicide case 27.

Facilities

Qianlong Headquarters

Qianlong Headquarters is concealed within a mountain basin protected by formations that prevent detection by satellites and aircraft. Its security combines advanced technology with ancient formation techniques 443.

The headquarters contains green mountains, watercourses, concealed caves, and training or research facilities. Only personnel above Hidden Dragon Gold Medal rank normally know its location 108.

Unit 101 Training Grounds

Unit 101's training grounds are located on an isolated island inaccessible through ordinary communications or satellite systems. Its training areas include:

• Combat
• Firearms and equipment
• Espionage and strategy
• Medicine
• Special operations 15

Three-Thirty-Three Pagoda

Designed by Daoist Lu Yun, the Three-Thirty-Three Pagoda is a four-story combat-testing tower containing thirty-three holographic stages. Reaching the thirtieth stage signifies entry into the Heavenly-King Realm 452 453.

The pagoda conceals a formation linked to Three Heavens, including a powerful butterfly capable of suppressing opponents at or beyond Enlightened Realm level. The Dragon Head later recognizes the butterfly as a potential final defensive trump card for headquarters 455 457.

Technology & Equipment

Dragon Series Equipment

• Dragon Armor — Protective clothing that can be tailored as ordinary apparel; high-grade models can adapt their appearance to surrounding light 22.
• Dragon Scales — Special-alloy daggers capable of piercing steel 22.
• Dragon Eye — Glasses connected to Qianlong's extensive information system; used for communication, surveillance, database access, and authorization verification 22 449.
• Dragon Tendon — A rope used by operatives as a restraint or lethal noose 22.
• Qianlong Command Token — A Heavenly King-level authority token that grants operational command over cooperating forces 362.

Robotics

Class	Function
Class A	Combat robots for conventional hand-to-hand, firearms, street, and wilderness battles; they are less effective against high-level Gene Humans 20.
Class B	General-purpose service robots, including Xiao Luo; capable of domestic tasks, education, and emergency protection of assigned personnel 20.
Class C	Single-purpose special-mission robots, such as diving and mine-clearing units 20.

Qianlong also deploys aerial vehicles, spider-shaped perimeter robots, battle robots, missiles, surveillance systems, and specialized toxic agents during large operations 65 313 513.

Formation and Weapons Research

Qianlong incorporates ancient formations into modern operations. During the Haoyuan Sect invasion, thirty-six flying vehicles carrying Hidden Dragon operatives and cultivators formed a coordinated formation network 584.

After capturing Hydra's Wing Blade, Qianlong's Mechanical Bureau decrypted its control core. With Formation Crystal Pillars supplied by Lin Xiaosu, the weapon's second form produced shielding capable of blocking missiles and high-powered lasers 451.

Notable Personnel

• Dragon Head — Qianlong's leader; Changye's godfather and the authority behind major strategic decisions 108 456.
• Changye — Operative, assessor, and poison specialist; guided Lin Xiaosu through his initial Qianlong assessments 19.
• Hidden Dragon No. 88 — Senior operative and assessor; tactical planner during the Changsheng Group operation 20 120.
• Bloodmark Heavenly King — Ancient Martial Arts expert and leading field commander in Qianlong's operations against Kun Cang and Hydra 220 513.
• Blue Demon Heavenly King — Disguise specialist and Awakened-level combatant; frequently partners with Lin Xiaosu 120 137.
• Miaoyin Heavenly King — Sound-based support combatant and researcher; uses infrasound in battle and later infiltrates Dragon Gate 513 760.
• Brain Heavenly King — Qianlong's technology specialist; decrypted and improved Wing Blade's control system in three days 451.
• Jing Lei / White Bone Heavenly King — Once revered as Qianlong's number-one Heavenly King, he was exposed as the White Bone Heavenly King who had killed and impersonated the real Jing Lei 500.

Major Operations

Changsheng Group assault	Qianlong captured Li Changsheng, neutralized Gene Human resistance through Blue Demon and Blood Scar, and used the enemy's communications system to lure fleeing personnel into prepared ambushes 120.
Kun Cang red line	Bloodmark led Qianlong's first decisive action against Great Sun Free-and-Easy Temple, arresting more than one hundred cultivators and establishing that opposition to national authority would no longer be tolerated 220.
Formless Temple seizure	Qianlong captured Formless Temple under the pretext of enforcing the law against murder and plunder, then established a controlled inspection process for travel through the Kun Cang passage 309 314.
Missile strike on Leng Qingquan	Qianlong killed an Enlightened Realm cultivator who crossed into the Outside World, demonstrating that conventional missiles could destroy even Kun Cang's strongest experts 313.

Phoenix City abyss defense	The First Special Assault Team deployed an improved Heaven-Sky Yin-Yang Reversal Formation, annihilating tens of thousands of Silver Mountain Badgers before confronting Haoyuan Sect cultivators 585.

Relationships

• Hydra — Qianlong's greatest enemy; its agents repeatedly infiltrated Qianlong, attacked its outposts, and assassinated its personnel 19 210.
• Kun Cang — A fellow “guardian god” of Great Xia but also a politically volatile cultivation power. Qianlong initially avoided direct conflict, then imposed control over Formless Temple and the gateway passage 305 314.
• Great Xia law enforcement — Local police and legal-supervision agencies must cooperate when Qianlong takes command of a national-security case 236.
• Lin Xiaosu — A long-term outside collaborator rather than a formal member. Though initially rejected by the review system, he later received permanent Level Three clearance granting access to nearly all of headquarters 27 449 627.
• Three Heavens — An ancient guardian force connected to Daoist Lu Yun and Qianlong Headquarters' hidden formation; Qianlong regards it as a potential defense against civilization-ending threats 456 457.

Legacy

Qianlong commemorates fallen members on the Qianlong Pillar, where the names of martyrs from the first through seventh generations are displayed 582.

Its identity is defined by the belief that peace is maintained by people who secretly assume danger and responsibility on behalf of others 19.
