Faced with a colossus of the human world like the Hojo Clan, Li Xia also felt the inadequacy of his own strength.
His personal cultivation was fairly outstanding. With his several major Shikigami, he could retreat unhurriedly even against great demons; apart from Hojo Tsuna, who served as both [daimyo] and [clan head], the other members of the Hojo family should have been inferior to him.
But against the entire Hojo Clan, his current means still fell somewhat short.
This hegemon had far too many two-star and three-star monks, shrine maidens, and priests under its command.

The two looked seventy or eighty percent alike.
When Kagome first saw Hojo Akitsune in the original work, she nearly
