For the past two days, Mei and the others had been resting and conserving their strength. They had not done much sightseeing in Kyoto, much less anything else.
Besides, there was not much worth seeing in Kyoto at the moment. Most of those who could flee had already fled.
Although she had been there for two days, Mei had not sought out the Nura Clan or the Kaikain family. If her strength had been insufficient, she might have joined forces with them against Hagoromo Gitsune, but Mei had no need to do that at all.
Because Hagoromo Gitsune was about to give birth, Kyoto was in chaos. No one knew how Kaikain had reached an agreement with Nura Nurarihyon. Although Yōki was gone, Nura Nurarihyon still led his Hyakki Yagyō to attack the Imperial Palace before Hagoromo Gitsune gave birth.
Of course, compared to Hagoromo Gitsune's forces, the yokai of the Nura Clan were weaker by far more than a single level. The Nura Clan's strength alone could not possibly contend with Hagoromo Gitsune.
Even so, Nura Nurarihyon had still chosen to do this.
Moreover, under the leadership of their clan elders, Kaikain's Onmyoji had joined the Nura Clan in fighting the yokai under Hagoromo Gitsune's command.
When Mei and the others approached the Imperial Palace, a scene of utter chaos unfolded before them.

"Shuten Doji, Great Tengu..."
Mei's eyes lit up as she looked at
