"How many days does it take to reach the Capital City?" Arya continued to ask."If you take the main road, it will take about five to six days. But there’s a shortcut that can reduce the journey to just three days," Rengga replied."That means I’ll depart tomorrow at noon!" Arya declared firmly. His gaze then shifted to Chandra. "Don't worry, Chandra. Your grudge will be avenged.""I’ll go with you, Arya," Ratnasari interjected.Arya smiled and nodded.Meanwhile, Sumoharjo’s group finally arrived at the forest where the battle between Arya and Sutojoyo had occurred. Some minor setbacks delayed their journey.Sumoharjo frowned as he observed the damage in the forest. The ominous feeling he had been trying to suppress resurfaced as his eyes took in the scene before him."Order your men to spread out and find out what caused this destruction!" he commanded Tunggul Anom."Yes, Elder." Tunggul Anom nodded and summoned one of his subordinates.After receiving brief instructions, the member

Arya smiled at the confusion on Ratnasari's face. "Just answer as you see it, and don't hide anything."Ratnasari nodded slightly and took a deep breath. Her gaze returned to Sumoharjo, who was still intently staring at her."What he said is true, Elder. And we were the ones who deliberately lured Elder Sutojoyo away from the Devil's Eagle sect. In essence, it was the two of us who trapped him."Arya looked shocked at Ratnasari's additional words. He had hoped she wouldn't get involved in the fight that was about to begin. "Why did you say that?""Why not? Isn't it true that we were the ones who trapped Sutojoyo? Don't take all the responsibility for what we did alone," Ratnasari replied.For some reason, Sumoharjo still couldn't believe that the handsome young man had killed Sutojoyo. It was possible they were both pretending to cover up the identity of the one who actually killed his close friend."Don't think I believe the charade you've put on. And you, Ratnasari, even though you'

At the same time, Arya and Sumoharjo were already facing each other in a vast open field where the handsome young man and Ratnasari had trained during their stay at the Sacred Staff sect.Like Ratnasari, he also thought of fighting in a location far from the Sacred Staff sect. Not only would the lives of the sect members be at risk due to his battle with Sumoharjo, but even the newly renamed sect building could collapse to the ground. He was certain that the energy they both unleashed would devastate everything within its radius.Unbeknownst to Arya, Ratnasari had also invited Tunggul Anom to fight in the same place. Naturally, this would create its own challenges for him later on.After his attack was effortlessly blocked by the handsome young man while trying to strike Rengga, Sumoharjo became deeply intrigued by Arya's inner strength. He still couldn't believe that someone as young as his current opponent could possess such extraordinary abilities. Even the most brilliant black ar

As taught by Arya, Ratnasari only moved to dodge and block without counterattacking to observe and read her opponent's movements.She searched for an opening to quickly pressure her opponent. However, Tunggul Anom's movements were nearly flawless—so fast and precise that they left no gaps to exploit.Ratnasari finally decided to stop observing her opponent’s movements. She had no choice but to respond to the attacks of the dreadlocked warrior, famously known as the Hell Spear.At the start of the battle, it was clear that Tunggul Anom had far more experience than Ratnasari. His attacks were more varied and often difficult for the beautiful young woman to counter. He seemed determined to prove that he wasn’t just a master of the spear but also skilled in hand-to-hand combat.But that didn’t mean Ratnasari couldn’t match Tunggul Anom’s movements. Gradually, she began to read and counter his attacks, even managing to pressure him, forcing him to retreat slightly.The Hell Spear warrior i

Sumoharjo could no longer endure Arya's relentless attacks. His body trembled violently as he struggled to keep his energy sword from dissipating."There’s no other way!" he muttered to himself, moving swiftly to block the sword strikes that could land on him at any moment.Sumoharjo sought an opening to unleash his strongest technique. However, Arya's ceaseless assault left him increasingly frustrated.Finally, the opportunity came. Taking advantage of a brief lapse in Arya's aggression, Sumoharjo leapt far back, taking deep breaths repeatedly to ease his strained lungs."If you’re planning to use the ultimate move Sutojoyo once used, forget it! Have you forgotten that it’s still broad daylight?" Arya taunted."Hahaha! If you think Sutojoyo’s move is the ultimate technique of the Blood Red Moon Sect, then you’re gravely mistaken!" Sumoharjo retorted with a loud laugh.He knew full well that the young man before him still possessed immense power, making his chances of victory seem bur
