What City?

Because of the rules of the City of Phantoms?

As he pondered, after emerging from the shadows of the alley, Lu Ren suddenly heard two furious shouts. Looking up, he saw the two constables bellowing. One shouted, "Stop!" and the Celestial Immortal who had just emerged from the street corner ahead instantly froze rigid.
