Sinopsis: Kebiadaban yang dilakukan oleh gerombolan La Afi Sangia kian merajalela. Terakhir mereka membantai penduduk Desa Tanaru dan galaranya (kepala desa) secara sangat biadab, dan desa dibumihanguskan. Sebagian rakyat desa ikut hangus bersama rumah-rumah mereka. “Akan kubesarkan dan kugembleng bayi titisan ini menjadi seorang pendekar besar. Biarlah kelak dia sendiri yang akan menuntut balas atas kematian kedua orang tua dan semua warga desanya,” ucap Dato Hongli dengan suara bergetar karena menanggung gelombang amarah yang membahana dalam dadanya terhadap gerombolan durjananya La Afi Sangia. Sang mantan jenderal perang Kekaisaran Dinasti Ming (Ming Chao) yang sudah berusia hampir setengah abad itu berjongkok dan mengangkat tubuh sang bayi. “Akan kuberi kau nama La Mudu, si yang terbakar,” ucapnya dengan suara setengah bergumam kepada si bayi, sebelum ia mengangkat tubuh bayi tinggi-tinggi dengan kedua tangannya sembari berseru dengan suara membahana, “Aku bersumpah untuk menggembleng dia menjadi seorang pendekar besar yang akan menumpas segala bentuk kedzoliaman di atas jagat raya ini…!! Wahai Dewata Agung….kabulkan keinginanku ini….!! Kabulkan…wahai…Dewata Aguuung….!!” Dewata Agung tentu mendengar permohonannya dan seolah jagat raya pun ikut mengamini.
