After subduing Tan Ming, Lin Mu did not think of verbally attacking Tan Ming.
Although this can achieve temporary success, it will lose Tan Ming's loyalty, and the gain outweighs the loss.
As for comforting Tan Ming, this is impossible.
In any case, Tan Ming did do something treasonous and unethical. Instead of punishing him, he comforted him. Wouldn't this be condoning Tan Ming's continued behavior in the future?
"Tan Ming, since what you did was indeed done for Gemen, I will spare your life this time."
Lin Mu said calmly: "But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."
"In the next period of time, I will suspend your position as the castle master, and Ning Sheng will be in charge temporarily, and I will let you endure the soul-burning journey of strange fire for three days. Are you convinced?"
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mu said these words, Tan Ming looked at Lin Mu with even more awe.
If Lin Mu seizes the opportunity to attack him and humiliate him, he will only continue to regard Lin Mu as his enemy, and he will only fail in his fight with Lin Mu.
The conflict between him and Lin Mu was a conflict between ourselves and the enemy.
But as soon as Lin Mu said these words, everything changed.
The dispute between him and Lin Mu is no longer a conflict between ourselves and the enemy, but an internal dispute within Gemen.
His behavior was not a mortal sin, it was just a violation of the rules.
There is no nonsense, no verbal disputes with others, and at the same time, all factors are smoothed out in an instant, and a judgment is made directly. Such decisiveness and courage are definitely not something that only a few people can achieve.
Tan Ming thought that if it were him, he might not have Lin Mu's broad-mindedness, nor would he have Lin Mu's experienced experience and skills.
At this moment, he seemed to understand more and more why Ge Xuan handed Ge Ling to Lin Mu and made Lin Mu his uncle.
This uncle's methods are truly extraordinary.
"Lord of the Castle."
The wisdom of Tan Ming's subordinates was far inferior to that of Tan Ming. They could not understand the profound meaning and just looked at Tan Ming anxiously.
Obviously, Lin Mu wantonly deprived Tan Ming of his power and made Ning Sheng the castle master. In their view, this was a typical case of dove occupying the magpie's nest and sworn hatred.
"No need to say more."
Tan Ming waved his hand to interrupt them, and said sincerely: "From now on, I am just the junior of my uncle, and my uncle's orders are greater than my orders. No one can object to my uncle's words, otherwise they will have trouble with me, Tan Ming."
"
Lin Mu looked at Tan Ming, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "So, Tan Ming, you accepted the punishment?"
He chose to subdue Tan Ming rather than kill Tan Ming precisely because he knew that Tan Ming was very smart and that such a person could be of great use.
"Disciple accepts punishment."
Tan Ming bowed deeply.
After realizing that he was no match for Lin Mu, he decided to surrender to Lin Mu no matter what and hugged Lin Mu's thigh tightly.
Lin Mu's mining ability is too strong. Now he can't beat Lin Mu. If he wants to get benefits from Lin Mu, he can only show his loyalty to Lin Mu and do things for Lin Mu.
He also knew the purpose of Lin Mu's actions, but he was not disgusted. On the contrary, he was in awe and admiration for Lin Mu.
Lin Mu first took out more than 30,000 spiritual minerals, saying that he was qualified to benevolent to him and had the ability to benefit him beyond what he had now. This was a favor.
Showing thunder again, digging a tunnel under his castle, and capturing and suppressing him, this is a threat.
Show kindness and power at the same time, act vigorously and resolutely.
In Tan Ming's view, if his ability to control people is said to be superb, then Lin Mu has completely surpassed this level and can only be described as superb.
If you follow such a person, your future will definitely be bright, and you will most likely be able to surpass him as a leader.
"Just accept the punishment."
Lin Mu nodded, and then changed the topic, "But my mission is to do things, and punishment is not the purpose."
"Punishment is just to let the disciples know the wrong method. Today I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If things go well, you will be spared the punishment of burning your soul with strange fire."
Tan Ming's heart trembled, and he increasingly felt that Lin Mu was unfathomable.
First, he showed harsh methods to him, and now he suddenly gave him a chance, which actually made him feel faintly grateful in his heart.
If Lin Mu had asked him to do things from the beginning, he would have done it with all his heart and soul. He would have just made trouble for Lin Mu instead of being obedient.
But now, given him a hundred courages, he would not dare to disobey Lin Mu's wishes and could only serve Lin Mu honestly.
"Disciple, thank you, Master, for your kindness."
He quickly bowed his hands.
"Next, I have to go to Hu Zun."
Lin Mu waved his hand to collect the spiritual minerals on the ground, stood up with his hands behind his back and said: "You take your men and follow me, I will let Lin Xiong dig a tunnel, then you and your people will ambush in the tunnel, listen to my orders, and wait for the opportunity.
move."
"yes."
Tan Mingdao.
Behind Lin Mu, Ning Sheng had a look of shock on her face.
It wasn't until this moment that she understood Lin Mu's intentions and methods, and she couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
There are three forces currently entangled with Lin Mu, namely Tan Ming, Hu Zun and Jiang Yang.
Among them, Jiang Yang is the best, Hu Zun is second, and Tan Ming is the weakest.
Two months ago, Lin Mu was still a novice and came to the Kurong Ancient Territory alone.
But now, Lin Mu first united with Lin Xiong to subdue Tan Ming, and now he needs to rely on Tan Ming's power to subdue Tiger Lord.
It is conceivable that as long as Lin Mu's plan goes smoothly, Jiang Yang will definitely not be Lin Mu's opponent in the end and will be played to death by Lin Mu.
Two hours later.
Lin Mu and Tan Ming arrived outside the underground world of Tiger Lord.
Just like when he dealt with Tan Ming before, Lin Mu stopped a hundred miles away from Tiger Lord's underground world.
"Old Xiong, the deepest part of Tiger Lord's underground world is one hundred and thirty meters, so this time, you need to drill a little deeper."
Lin Mu said calmly.
Without saying a word, Lin Xiong breathed out black wind and began to burrow into the ground.
After a while, Lin Xiong drilled a deep tunnel into the ground.
In just three minutes, Lin Xiong drilled a tunnel 150 meters deep.
Tan Ming and other cultivators next to him were dumbfounded, with chills running down their bones.
Seeing this scene, they finally understood how Lin Xiong appeared under their castle.
In this Kurong Ancient Territory, everyone knows that the ground is hard and is the least likely place to be breached.
Therefore, their formation defended all the surrounding areas, except the underground area which was undefended.
Who would have thought that Lin Mu would have such a master with extraordinary abilities who could easily dig tunnels in the Kurong Ancient Territory.
With such ability, there is no place in the Kurong Ancient Territory that can stop Lin Mu.
Tan Ming's subordinates were a little dissatisfied with Tan Ming's surrender to Lin Mu before, but now they feel very lucky.
qL11
Fighting against someone like Lin Mu who can appear from under your feet at any time is simply asking for trouble.
Since the tunnel was deeper, it took Lin Xiong longer this time.
Three hours later, Lin Xiong came out of the tunnel: "It's done."
Tan Ming and other practitioners were even more surprised, with strong disbelief on their faces.
In just three hours, a tunnel hundreds of miles long can be dug? What a joke.
However, when they followed Lin Xiong into the tunnel and reached the underground world of Tiger Lord, they could no longer believe it.
