Pu Yongyan chased those Jianghu martial artists who were causing trouble all the way to the Flower Building, but was still stopped by the guards of the building and couldn't search inside.
It's not that he couldn't win, but he was aware of who he could provoke in this huge city, and those whom he absolutely couldn't afford to offend. As a City Iron Guard Colonel, his status wasn't bad, but the owner of this building was someone he couldn't provoke.
Thinking to himself, he reckoned he had fought bravely and captured some troublemakers, as a mere Colonel, his achievements were already significant; pushing further wouldn't earn him any more credit.
Since the other side fled here, they must have some backing, perhaps it was the white-robed martial artist who attacked him yesterday; pursuing them would be fruitless and might unnecessarily anger the owner of this building, so he hesitated.
