Dr. Sen Yong

**Dr. Sen Yong** is a doctor and researcher, known for his unethical and twisted experiments, that used to work for the Duanmu family. He is also the founder of the Sanmu Pharmaceutical Company, that was mainly funded by the Duanmu family at first, but thanks to Dr. Sen's valuable research it managed to gain multinational support, even from military contractors.

While working in the Duanmu household, Dr. Sen became interested in Duanmu Xi’s impressive regenerative ability. He wanted to study his body, especially his genetic code, in order to find the genes that gave him that ability and then copy and insert them into other people, possibly offering a cure for many terminal illnesses and physical disabilities. His ultimate ambition, however, was to achieve immortality for himself, so that he could continue to expand his knowledge and wisdom until he discovered the truth of the universe. He asked the family multiple times to allow him to conduct research on Duanmu Xi, but they refused since they knew his unethical ways. Dr. Sen, though, never gave up on it and even after leaving the household, he kept an eye on Duanmu Xi for a chance to take him, with or without his will, for research.

He was also the one who got Duanmu Xi into smoking, after tossing some cigarettes on him while he was on the floor having a panic attack that was making him unable to breath, explaining to him later that their toxicity could help him feel like he was punishing himself enough to keep living.

   A few years later, he decided to take in Jue, a child from the Zhiren house that had murdered all of his 16 fellow monk students as sacrifices a few years earlier, and experiment on him, as he had a spiritual body type similar to Daunmu Xi.

Dr. Sen also got hold of Shenlong Zhangxuan, who came to him on his own, hoping that he could remove the Gu that his brother, Shenlong Xiren, had planted into his body in order to both resurrect and control him. In case the operation failed Zhangxuan asked for his body to be used as a blood bag for Duanmu Xi and when Xi’s organs would start to fail, to replace them with his own. Dr. Sen accepted the challenge.

Later, Dr. Sen finally got the chance to obtain Duanmu Xi, when the Duanmu family exiled him temporarily to an abandoned town after losing control of his power during a ceremony. Shenlong Xiren then asked for the assistance of his military forces in order to assassinate Duanmu Xi there for his mistake, since great-grandmother refused to cooperate with that plan. Dr. Sen, however, plotted to abduct him instead , after the bombardment of the town, but Yang Jinghua managed to take Xi out of there and hide him in the Qin household. Dr. Sen located them and decided to abduct all the people inside the house, including Qin Shiyao and Ouyang Yang, and use them, along with Zhangxuan, to blackmail Xi into coming with him to his military research base outside the country. Duanmu Xi, however, convinced him to leave the unconscious Yang Jinghua behind, so he could rescue him later. Inside the base, Dr. Sen subjected Xi to painful experiments, after implanting a nanochip in his body that would cause him severe pain whenever he used his spiritual power. Yang Jinghua indeed came to his rescue later, with Duanmu Siming providing intel from outside, while Duanmu Siyun was gathering the forces of the Duanmu, Qin, Ouyang and Shenlong family in order to assist them. Yang Jinghua managed to find the hostages and Duanmu Xi, who was in a bad shape after using his spiritual power and causing the chip to counter attack him which, combined with the drug that was administered to him earlier, was causing his heart to fail. Fortunately, among the hostages was a doctor, who removed the nanochip from his body, after Yang Jinghua brought him the device he needed, and all of them got out of the base. Once the hostages were safe, Yang Jinghua went back inside to rescue Shenlong Zhangxuan, who had just finished undergoing the operation for the Gu removal. While he was there, he explained to Dr. Sen that his research was futile, since Duanmu Xi’s regenerative ability didn’t come from his genes but from Yinzhe’s 1000 year old cultivation core that he had given to Xi many years ago in order to restore his body. After shaving him bald, Yang Jinghua left his base with Zhangxuan and reunited with Xi who had been waiting for him outside. Jue, however, had followed them as well and activated the electrical fence the moment Duanmu Xi was passing through it, causing his heart to stop temporarily. Yang Jinghua then thought that he had lost him forever and amidst his immense grief and pain, as well as Jue’s taunting words, he transformed into a demon and almost destroyed the entire base. Dr. Sen, along with his remaining forces, managed to get out of the building in time and after seeing Yang Jinghua’s state they immediately evacuated the place, leaving Yang Jinghua to the four major families to handle.
