Ling Tian and the others had crossed paths with members of the Thorn Alliance in the You Hun Realm, and Ling Tian had even fought Ci Xin. They were quite familiar with the Thorn Alliance's methods. Although its members excelled at assassination, most of them focused on close-quarters combat and didn't use long-range Daoist attacks. That suited Ling Tian and the others' plan perfectly.
They would use their fused Phenomenal Domain to trap the Thorn Alliance members. With the Nine-Colored Ice Lotus Clan's ability to teleport, Ling Tian could launch surprise attacks. And if they quietly sent out the Corpse Ghosts, killing every last member of the Thorn Alliance would be even easier.
Although the Nine-Colored Ice Lotus Clan's Phenomenal Domain let Ling Tian teleport, the distance was limited to only a few dozen or a hundred zhang at most—far shorter than the distance the Corpse Ghosts could cover.
They could silently send the Corpse Ghosts underground, then spread them in every direction. If the Thorn Alliance members sensed danger and tried to flee, Ling Tian and the others could teleport straight to the Corpse Ghosts and hunt them down. That would make killing the Thorn Alliance members much easier.

As the fog spread, Ling Tian and Fairy Meng Shang quietly directed the Corpse Ghosts into the earth and stone beneath their feet, then
