He Nu steadied herself and gestured for Han Fen not to be nervous. She did not walk straight toward Wild Horse. Instead, she faced the large group of Moonlight Hall disciples to her right, calmly sweeping her gaze across every face, and said in a rarely gentle voice, "The formula for the Blood Coagulating Brain Calming Pill's antidote has been found."
To the dozens of surviving Deyi Tower Disciples, Blood Coagulating Brain Calming Pill was an unfamiliar and meaningless term. But to the Moonlight Hall disciples, who made up more than half the crowd, it brought overwhelming joy. Even Wild Horse temporarily reined in his killing intent and turned around to listen to He Nu.
Moonlight Hall excelled at secret arts and pills. Even consolidating the disciples' loyalty depended on these two things. The Blood Coagulating Brain Calming Pill was the most important tool among them. Made from dozens of rare flowers and herbs mixed with a piece of living human flesh, the medicine required its users to receive an antidote regularly. With this as leverage, the Hall Master could control the disciples' behavior for a long time without worrying about their betrayal.
Thus, when the only betrayal in decades occurred, Han Wuxian had been completely unprepared.
He Nu imprisoned the Hall Master and found the antidote formula in a very short time. Using Han Wuxian's flesh and blood, she made a batch of antidotes and thereby smoothly took control of most of the disciples.
This control was naturally more fragile than Han Wuxian's. To prevent needless trouble and suspicion, He Nu had not even been willing to inherit the position of Hall Master. She had promised all the disciples that she would find a complete antidote so that none of them would ever again need to fear the threat
