Upon entering that secret place, Minos and Starclaw immediately crossed the lake in front of them, heading deeper into the mountain ahead.
However, as they were moving, they both noticed the movement of people in the vicinity of the entrance of the construction made inside that mountain.
"There are people here!" Starclaw sensed the spiritual fluctuations of these people in the surroundings and immediately scanned the area for more cultivators.
Minos frowned as he saw those people moving in formation as if they were preparing for something.
"They're going to activate some kind of barrier." He said before Starclaw shouted in a more altered tone.
"There are high-level Spiritual Sages and Demigods around here, Minos!"
"What?"
As strong as he was, Minos' senses were less keen than that of this level 87 creature, so he had not yet sensed the three low-level Demigods that existed within that mountain.
He had only noticed some high-level Spiritual Sages coming towards them when he heard Starclaw's agitated words.
"Shit! We have to get into that place at any cost." He said to himself.
Instantly after that, Minos displayed his Soul Avatar as he activated his Indestructible Body, striking against the defensive formation those people outside the mountain were already forming.
His fist quickly approached the defensive formation of those people, while the friction with the air made their surroundings chaotic.
Then, when his fist hit a thick defensive layer raised by dozens of cultivators, forceful winds spread to the surroundings as cracks grew in that barrier.
"Shit!"
"Invaders! Damned invaders are attacking us!"
Some of the weaker ones shouted, pleading for help through their communicators.
Unfortunately for the group on that mountain, even though low-level Demigods were faster than Minos, his action had been too fast, and he soon overcame those first barriers in his path.
Boom!
The defensive barrier of those dozens of people broke down as the body of the Soul Avatar of Minos passed them by.
"Aaaaagh!"
Shrieks of pain broke out in the surroundings as those who had tried to lift that defensive barrier felt the injuries to their souls from their defenses together, having been easily broken by Minos.
By overtaking these people, Minos entered that building inside that mountain and immediately used chaotic gravity to kidnap some low-level Spiritual Sages.
When Starclaw stopped beside him in a defensive position, already in her bestial form, Minos' level was already at level 82 while some of his hostages were weaker.
His Devouring Art was absorbing the energies of these people while he displayed an aura as strong as cultivators of peak level 89.
"Who are you, people? Why are you attacking us?" A level 90 man, the strongest of the group of Demigods who rushed over there, asked as several high and mid-level Sages gathered behind them.
Minos looked at these people and said. "I do not wish your harm. I am merely searching for something that existed in this place long before your arrival here."
He knew that these people were not members of the Longus family. Why was that? Besides the fact that no one recognized him immediately, something that should happen, given the techniques that Henricus Longus had left for him, these people were using this place in the wrong way.
At the entrance to this place was a board with the word protection, something written by Henricus Longus.

Such a thing could be activated to form a high-level grade-4 defensive barrier, something that only someone knowing the code would be enough to use.
The descendants of Henricus Longus would definitely know this, and it made no sense for a group like this not to use such a thing to protect themselves.
"You do not wish our harm?" A level 90 woman asked while laughing awkwardly. "You have the nerve to say that after attacking us and making several of our brothers your hostages?"
"I am only ensuring my safety," Minos said, looking intently at those 3. "I saw that they didn't even give me a chance to explain myself and already started forming their defenses... I had to attack, or it would be impossible for me to get in here.
But I really don't want to fight. Give me safe passage into the interior of this mountain, and I will leave without any further trouble."
"Humph! You are very arrogant! You think you can challenge us by being a mere Sage?" The third of those level 90 elders questioned him, already with his Soul Avatar activated.
This man's avatar was much denser than Minos' and looked almost like a giant human's body, similar to this man with white hair and a goatee.
Starclaw felt fear as she saw this man using his soul projection to scare them and asked. "What are we going to do? Are you sure these people are not the ones you are looking for?"
"I do. I don't recognize that elder's Soul Avatar. If he were a member of the family I'm looking for, he would definitely have a different technique...
That is merely a Silver-grade soul technique." Minos said, in a defensive position, as he kept his hostages inside his soul projection.
"We have no choice. We have to fight them. I need the information in that place." He said, making that creature regret choosing to follow him.
"We will die if we have to fight them. Not even you can fight against Demigods!"
Minos ignored the fear of his mount and said in her mind. 'Can you take care of those below your level? I'll deal with the rest.'
Gulp!
She looked at Minos, shocked, 'Are you serious? We're talking about three Demigods and 12 high-level Spiritual Sages!'
'Hmm, I'll take the Spiritual Sages out of the fight and find a way to trick the three Demigods. You just need to hold your position and prevent them from activating some kind of array that will prevent our escape.'
'All right, I can do that.' She informed, dropping her gaze to focus on the 40 opponents she would have to deal with.
Most of them were low-level Sages, so she was confident of battling them if Minos took care of two stronger ones there.
With that, Minos wasted no more time and immediately flew toward the opposing group while activating his techniques simultaneously.
Spatial Sword!
Without warning, 100 spiritual swords suddenly appeared in the vicinity of the group in the path of Minos, coming from several different directions.
As they flew towards the strongest ones there, everyone felt the restrictive ability of Minos' technique imbued in each of the swords.
"Shit! Get ready!"
