Having come to a decision on what to do in his extra objective that involved potentially recruiting the female cultivator attempting to reach the Dao Seed Realm, Xuan Hao didn't make his presence known to the two combatants, but instead used his profound understanding of the Dao of Space to silent move himself and his disciples further away while at the same time using his domain to hide them from any of the Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts around.
As for the wandering cultivators who had been preparing to take advantage of him causing chaos to escape, Xuan Hao casual used his qi to grab hold of them and throw them in the direction of the closest human city without any of the demon beasts or the female cultivator noticing it.
