I am biased in CN because I mainline it and what made me want to write this post is because of that.
So the antagonists know about MC acceerated growth. All the old fuckers who can't grow for shit decides to hunt MC down like a dog to steal his secret.
Of course, different authors different styles.
The first would be to accelerate MC growth even further, so much so that no one could ever catch MC off guard or even dead.
Second would be the standard MC hides himself and this always lead to something more interesting.
MC either hides his loved ones as well and it becomes a cat and mouse game where the antags are hunting them all.
Or MC could only hide himself, resulting all his loved ones tortured and killed by the antags, even fashioning their dead bodies and tormented souls as weapons against MC when he returns for vengeance. I had seen this only twice and it was both satisfying and heartbroken at the same time.
The last type is MC hides himself and his loved ones humiliated/ abused but still alive and MC came back for faceslapping. Ngl, this is instant gratification and less gut wrenching.
Then there is the mandatory "thrashing MC house" when he's gone. MC, still hidden, went back to his old house to check, only to find his house raided. All the valuables stolen and memorabilias sullied. An example is the MC found his family portrait torn down and stepped on. This obviously resulted in MC killing the guy who did it and cue a funny scene once MC came out as the strongest cultivator in humanity.
Guy's father (just call him A): "Did you kill my son? Don't deny!"
MC PR team was sweating bullets
MC: "yeah, I did it."
A: "WHY?! HE A GOOD BOY!!!!"
MC: "Your good boy trampled on my family portrait."
A: "DOES IT FUCKING MATTER!?"
MC: "It matters enough to me. Tell me, what would you do then?"
And the whole boardroom stayed quiet.
