By afternoon, the advance forces of the Poison Demon Cult failed to gain any advantage. While most of the beasts they brought with them had been killed or injured by the cultivators of various forces that engaged them, there were few casualties on their Acolytes and Priests deployed to direct command.
Likewise, the scouting groups and the reinforcements from their respective sects also suffered less. There wasn't even a casualty, only a few injuries that had been tended to right away.
They held the line quite magnificently, preventing the forces from the cult from advancing out of the Abyssal Forest.
Still, the Elders who were dispatched to take command of their forces noticed that apart from the few Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Priests, the bulk of the cult's forces were those corrupted demonic beasts. It made them wonder if the cult was truly serious about invading.
