Doctor Mo (Mo Juren)

Originally a powerful and cunning martial arts master known as the 'Lone Fist of the Devil Hand', Doctor Mo was poisoned by a rival. While searching for a cure, he encountered and killed the cultivator Yu Zitong, but was cursed in return, causing rapid aging. He made a pact with Yu Zitong's soul to find a solution: find a youth with spiritual roots, teach him cultivation, and then perform a soul transfer (Body Seizure) to steal the youth's young body and spiritual potential. He chose Han Li as his target. After using a forbidden art to temporarily regain youth and some magical power, he attempted the ritual but failed due to Han Li's stronger soul, resulting in his own soul being consumed and death.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Doctor Mo want Han Li's body?

Doctor Mo had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate immortality himself. He needed a young body with spiritual roots to perform a Body Seizure, allowing him to steal the cultivation potential and extend his life, escaping his cursed, rapidly aging form.

How did Doctor Mo die?

He died when his soul was consumed by Han Li's soul during the failed Body Seizure ritual. His physical body was left as a lifeless, extremely aged corpse.
