The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Panji Manggala Seta

"He is my brother, from Biyung Dewi Srimpi, Dinda Jingga. One of the four sons of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana.

Panji Manggala Seta", said Panji Tejo Laksono while smiling knot. Soon he jumped down from his horse followed by Luh Jingga and Gayatri. Senopati Gardana also immediately followed the steps of the ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng. They immediately walked up to the White Physician aka Panji Manggala Seta.

As soon as he got near her, Panji Manggala Seta immediately bowed respectfully to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Greetings to me, Kangmas Tejo Laksono".

"You are always like that, Dhimas Manggala Seta. We are brothers, you can not be polite like that to me" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he patted his sister's shoulder. Hearing those words, Panji Manggala Seta smiled faintly. He was right with the behavior of his brother this one because from a long time ago, Panji Tejo Laksono always refused courtesy among his brothers even though the rules of Katang-katang Palace require every relative of the palace to respect each other.

"What wind are you here for, Dhimas Manggala Seta? Aren't you studying at the Manikmaya Station in Harinjing?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"Tejo Laksono Kangmas is too long in the Land of China, so can't see my development that has graduated from Harinjing Hermitage.

I came here because I heard that Kangmas Tejo Laksono got his land in Seloageng. I missed Kangmas, so I decided to visit Kangmas Tejo Laksono here.

Not only did he meet the rotten man", Panji Manggala Seta turned his eyes to Sembada aka Si Demit Abang who leaned on the walls of the Duchy of Seloageng with a paled face.

"You know who he is, Dhimas Seta?", Panji Tejo Laksono again asked his sister.

"He is Sembada. The martial world of Jawadwipa Land in the east dubbed him as Si Demit Abang. His ability to disguise made him get that nickname. But this villain has a close connection to the mysterious Blood Crescent Group, so his existence is very difficult to find Kangmas Tejo Laksono.

The damned man once desecrated the sanctity of Akuwu Tumapel's wife by disguising herself as the Akuwu until she committed suicide out of shame. I've been chasing him but he always gets away. Apparently ill-fated when he was here" said Panji Manggala Seta while staring intently at Sembada who was panting to regulate his breathing. The effect of the Hell's Centipede Poison made the strength of this Blood Crescent Group member almost disappear completely.

"So you hurt him? It seems he was exposed to poison", Panji Tejo Laksono also noticed Sembada's condition.

"True Kangmas Tejo Laksono, I poisoned him with Hell's Centipede Poison", hearing the answer from Panji Manggala Seta, Panji Tejo Laksono was surprised instead of playing.

"Whataaaa????!!

Where'd you learn Dhimas' poison? Didn't Biyung Srimpi forbid you to study poison science?", Panji Tejo Laksono was still a little incredulous at his sister's answer. Panji Manggala Seta just smiled before speaking.

"Biyung did forbid me to study poison, Kangmas Tejo Laksono. But I who found the Hell's Book of Poison Centipede that Biyung hid under his bed, finally studied it out of curiosity with the contents of the book.

But that doesn't matter now, Kangmas. What I want to ask, why is this Demit Abang in Seloageng City?", Panji Manggala Seta pointed towards Sembada.

"He just disguised himself as a Seloageng warrior and killed the man who was the mastermind of the attempted murder against me. I wonder, who is the one who has silenced Uncle Maheswara's mouth to speak?", hearing the words of Panji Tejo Laksono, he said, Panji Manggala Seta immediately stared intently at Sembada who was leaning against the wall of the Duchy of Seloageng City to stand up while saying,

"Quick say Sembada..!!

Did your teacher Resi Mpu Wisesa tell you to do it?"

Phhuuiiiiii...

"I'd rather die than say what you want. I believe that my death will be the result of the resurgence of the Kahuripan Kingdom" said Sembada who began to stagger because the Hell's Poison Centipede had entered his heart. Black blood began to flow out from the corner of Si Demit Abang's lips.

"Huhhhh... So you chose to be able to defend the interests of the Blood Crescent Group, Sembada..

Then enjoy the rest of your breath before death to pick up" said Panji Manggala Seta while grinning widely to see Sembada limbung and fell to the ground.

"Kahuripan will return, Panjalu Jenggala will be destroyed se.la.ma.ma.nyaaaaa", Sembada's last words were heard as he began to die. From his mouth the blackish blood kept coming out and his skin flushed like freshly doused in hot water. This is the efficacy of Hell's Centipede Poison which is famous as the deadliest poison science ever in the Panjalu region. As the grandson of Mondosio the Koro Centipede, Panji Manggala Seta really mastered the science of poison that once shook the martial world.

After witnessing Sembada's death, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately asked the younger brother.

"Dhimas Manggala Seta, you seem to know Sembada well enough and his teacher. Are they really involved in the Blood Crescent Group?"

"Jagad Dewa Batara, apparently you are still the same as before.. Then let's go back to the palace.. Let your brother-in-law cook us some food..

Oh yes, this is Luh Jingga and Gayatri. They were my two ampean wives", Panji Tejo Laksono introduced Luh Jingga and Gayatri. Panji Manggala Seta immediately saluted the two beautiful women.

"My respect is Kangmbok", said Panji Manggala Seta while bowing his body.

"No need to hesitate, Gusti Prince. Thank you for your help and welcome to Seloageng", said Gayatri who was smiling by Panji Manggala Seta.

After that, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately ordered Senopati Gardana to get rid of Sembada's corpse. While Senopati Gardana worked, Panji Tejo Laksono took Panji Manggala Seta to the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng. The four of them accompanied by the soldiers of the Duke's personal guard immediately rushed towards the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng located in the middle of the city.

Looking at the four beautiful Panji Tejo Laksono wives, Panji Manggala Seta bobbing heads. He did not expect that his brother who usually looks calm turned out to be a female conqueror like his father.

"Kangmas Tejo Laksono, what amulet are you wearing? Why do beautiful women like them want to be with you?", whispered Panji Manggala Seta while smiling meaningfully.

"Don't you just talk, Dhimas. How have I ever used something like that?

If you don't believe me, just ask them", Panji Tejo Laksono almost pinned the head of Panji Manggala Seta if Luh Jingga, Song Zhao Meng, Gayatri and Ayu Ratna did not come to deliver food.

At dusk they eat voraciously in the joking Panji Mandala Seta. Unlike the other three brothers, Panji Manggala Seta is the most joking. He was always on a whim for his three brothers. Only Panji Tejo Laksono was never angry with the behavior of his ignorant sister. While Mapanji Jayawarsa is the person he rarely jokes with because it will be a matter.

While feeding food into his mouth, Panji Manggala Seta continues to babble about his adventures in the martial world of Jawadwipa Land after studying at Padepokan Harinjing. Not only in Panjalu, Panji Manggala Seta also traveled to Lamajang in the Jenggala Kingdom. The nickname as the White Physician he got after treating the disease daughter of a Lurah who was affected by the disease that plagues a village located at the foot of Mount Penanggungan. The science of medicine that he learned from Dewi Srimpi really he used it as well as possible.

"There's a question I have that you haven't answered, Dhimas Manggala Seta..

Is Sembada and his teacher involved in the Blood Crescent Group like you said?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono after they ate.

"Resi Mpu Wisesa from Panumbangan Hermitage is the teacher of Sembada Si Demit Abang, Kangmas Tejo Laksono.

From the news that I managed to gather, he is one of the leaders of the Blood Crescent Group", Panji Manggala Seta replied immediately.

"Awareness Arrow? Isn't it in the east of Kali Aksa which is still in the Duchy of Seloageng?", Panji Tejo Laksono was a little surprised to hear his sister's answer.

"You're right, Prince Kangmas..

Panumbangan hermitage entered the Pakuwon Weling area which is the border area with the Jenggala Kingdom. It was a vulnerable area because it was usually used for the escape of the robbers who messed up in the Jenggala region", said Gayatri who was collecting their former dining area with Song Zhao Meng.

Mmmmmm...

"Then, Resi Mpu Wisesa should not be left alone. Tomorrow morning, I will send the Panjalu soldiers to capture him.

Dhimas Manggala Seta, tomorrow you lead the way to that place. I myself will lead the army" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

"Ready to do Kangmas hehehe" replied Panji Manggala Seta with a smile.

The night is getting late. The whole Palace of the Duchy of Seloageng has fallen asleep in his beautiful dreams. The sound of night birds was simple as if to greet the palace residents. The sound of crickets and grasshoppers also enliven the atmosphere of a cold night until the morning before arriving.

The next day, after the morning sun turned up in the eastern sky, hundreds of Seloageng soldiers were already seen lined up neatly in the Square of the Duchy of Seloageng City. Under the direction of Senopati Gardana, they prepared to leave for Pakuwon Weling.

The banner of Tejo Laksono accompanied by Luh Jingga and Gayatri, walked out from inside the private room of the Duke of Seloageng. All three wore clothes like knights who were about to go to the battlefield. Panji Manggala Seta followed in the footsteps of the elder brother because he knew the way to Panumbangan Hermit.

Street dust flew in the footsteps of the horse soldiers of Seloageng duchy to climb the highway towards Pakuwon Weling. Their goal is only one, though,

Arrive at Panumbangan immediately.
