Nimbus flew high in the sky just before the edge of the barrier. He studied the barrier for a bit and notice Frindle's adjustments. He was in awe of how simple this barrier is and how Frindle's adjustments could help conceal it from those who have stronger perception.

Nimbus enjoyed freedom, He loves flying unfettered in the sky being stuck in a small place like this would drive him insane. Be fleeting like the clouds was his motto.

He also loved Arrays so he had Adjusted the formation to absorb a tiny bit of qi from the air something along the lines of a 3 percent increase to help improve the environment.

This had increased the quality of the array but made it so that those inside would be more comfortable.

He took one last look at the array before leaving. He had left a back door so that anyone with crow blood could enter and leave at will.

He took off in search of the humans that had entered this cage.

Nimbus enjoyed it's tiny form and flew all over our of all the crows Nimbus and the Cloudy crows loved flying. It was not just a form of travel it was something to enjoy and as their progenitor He loved flying more than the rest.

He loved doing flips barrel rolls and anything that he thought would be an enjoyable experience.

When he finally reached the location of where the humans were sent he just observed trying to see if they were worth communicating with.

---Sect pov---

Sec master Bai ! There's something wrong in the cultivation habitat.

Calm down elder Lucy. Take a breath and speak clearly.

Lucy an elder that looked about 50 but was really over 250. She had grey hair on her temples but looked like a distinguished noble lady, her skin had yet to wrinkle and was still youthful she had green eyes and red hair she was unique in the sect for her love of animals and specifically asked to be part of the management for the Animal and demonic beast habitat.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

She took a few breaths before speaking to the sect master who looked to be in his 30's but was almost double her age as he was a mid golden core realm , he had suave qualities. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail and was as black as the night sky, he had dark eyes but had a kind face. He was amiable to talk with and very dependable.

When I did my routine maintenance on the array formation I found that someone had secretly altered it. Lucy said.

I can't decipher the runes and nodes added it seems harmless but I don't understand the purpose of them. It could be possible that we have a traitor or we might be plotted against by a rival sect. Sect master please guide me!

She quickly knelt on the ground waiting for advice.

Sec master Bai closed his eyes and thought for a moment. The silence was deafining to Lucy it had felt like hours since he closed his eyes and suddenly she heard tapping on the armrest of the chair he was on.

Lucy looked up and saw the Sect master open his eyes so she quickly put her head back to the ground.

I believe that since you can't figure it out through observation alone you might have to brute force it. Take some disciples that have attainments in arrays and go to the elder guarding the Treasury and take defensive items and attack the array and see if there are any changes if you need more help you have my authority to recruit who you need. He put his hand inside his robe and pulled out a medallion. He poured some qi into it and passed it to Lucy.

Lucy quickly stood up and received the medallion and started to head out towards the array school.After receiving her task she was determined to follow it through. All those who dare bully those cute creatures will pay Lucy thought to herself.

She had arrived at the school and went towards the elders office and looked through her papers to see which students would best serve her purpose.

She had quickly found. 2 honors students Mikey Reynolds a Peak foundation array student, Veronica Steele Another Peak foundation array student and Vanessa Chambers that was very middle of the pack with her test score but someone with very wild theory and ideas that if came to fruition would be a major boon to the array world. Her odd ball train of thought could come in handy Lucy thought to herself. She was young and an early foundation Cultivator she had a decent future ahead of her.

She quickly sent out carrier pigeons to each of the students and waited for their arrival.

She sat down on her chair and closed her eyes. She thought to herself "I hope nothing serious comes of this." She decided to rest for a few moments before the students arrived.

A few minutes pass and quickly came a knock on her door and the assistant responded Elder Lucy the students you have summoned are here.

Good! Send them in. Lucy replied with authority.

The three students entered the elders office looking confused and Vanessa looking nervous.

"I have a task for the three of you." She looked at the three of them then spoke. "Prepare to enter the Cultivation habitat and bring your array tools and any defensive equipment you have. I will gather my things and meet you at the entrance. This is a mission from the sect master we must not fail."

The three students stood tall and spoke "Yes" at the same time. They turned around and quickly went back to their rooms to prepare.

Lucy grabbed the medallion and thought about what items they would need before standing up and heading out to receive their protection equipment and supplies.

"If I find out that there's a traitor in the sect I will feed them to the animals." She spoke out loud with venomous intentions.
