WAAAA!
The level of energy being unleashed from Azmodeus's aura nearly overwhelmed everything within a ten thousand-mile radius, coming close to alerting the stronger experts of the River Serpent Sect.
However, before it reached that point, he used his Stealth and Cloud Shroud Traits.
WAaaa...
The immense aura was instantly cloaked underneath a deep veil that no one below the Unity Form Synthesis Realm could hope to see through.
And luckily for him, nobody of that level was located near the outer layers of the Sect.

"..."
Azmodeus looked down at his fists and immediately realized just how much power he held within them.
However, his thoughts were soon interrupted by the curious voice of the beautiful Nao Long, who was currently sitting over the top of his head.
"What was dat...? Some sort of power up?" She inquired with her head at a slight tilt, question marks going off around her head.
Azmodeus looked up at the confused girl and responded, "It was just your imagination."
"Really...?"
"Yes."
"But that doesn't make any sense-"
"You want some sushi?"
"Yesh! I wants it!"
Diversion tactic succeeded.
Can't have her going off and blabbering about what I do to all the friends she's made out there.
Little did he know that the voluptuous dragon girl had no friends...
On a side note, due to her awakened Heaven-Rank Cultivation Talent, she was immediately jolted up to the very top authoritative positions in the Ice Goddess Sect, making her the third woman to be dubbed an Ice Goddess in the last ten thousand years!
One might think this was a bit of an exaggeration for being found out to have a secret Heaven-Ranked Talent, and they would be right.
After all, she merely possessed the lowest level of Heaven-Ranked Cultivation Talent, but there was something else that had been awakened due to her talent being unveiled.
That thing being a physique, or to be more specific, it was the 'Frostbound Physique', a High-Heaven Ranked Physique!
It was only two levels beneath the absolute peak of what you could hope to be born with in Prometheus!
And it was this exact reason that allowed Yang Hua to become the direct disciple of the Ice Goddess Sect's Sect Leader, and also the reason why she was able to become the Third Ice Goddess of the Sect!
...
"Milady, I will stay in your shadow while you handle all negotiation matters."
The voice of a woman with a cultivation beyond the Void Refining Realm resounded. After which, she slightly bowed to the magnificent girl in front of her.
"..."
Yang Hua turned her icy gaze in the direction of her main bodyguard. Then, with a neutral expression, she lightly nodded her head before continuing to glide across the outer area of the River Serpent Sect in elegant fashion.
After passing by a particularly inconspicuous mountain range, for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with something residing in the area.
What is this unusual sensation...? It's almost like...
She felt something that she hadn't in an extremely long time, as she darted in the direction of the mountain range with a racing heart.
There was nothing to base her speculations on, but as if on instinct, she could feel the presence of the one she had left behind all those years ago.
It was supposed to be temporary... We planned to meet up shortly after I acquired my sect identity token...
But by the time that I found my way back to the Yellow Mellow Sect, ready to show off my new identity, he was gone...
The aura around the Ice Goddess became a little melancholic as she remembered resenting Azmodeus when she found out about his disappearance.
After all, she loved him more than anything in the world!
And yet he left her behind without so much as a goodbye...
