Is it still allowed to slay devils on the streets of Sygil?

When I play PST, I always slay innocent Baatezu gaining 8000 EXP for each one. The Lady of Pain has never punished me. Is it still possible doing it in PSTee?

The Lady of Pain might not care for devils but the Harmonium would. They keep Order in Sigil.
Baatezu are professional lawyers and they would love to throw you in Sigil's jails or have all of the law against you.
And if the response is to kill them all, guess who gets annoyed because Sigil is in chaos: The Lady of Pain.
You don't make a mess of Sigil, she makes a mess of you.
Someone, like me, has to keep the chaotic juices flowin'!
Instead I'm forced to keep using the sensory stone.
But she does not care about individuals, be they devil or human. Note the level of conflict in the Hive.
Not sure from which edition this is, I believe 3E, might be wrong.
She doesn't care if all of Sigil was inhabited by devils or angels. She doesn't care.
She wants Order in Sigil and if you start making a mess of it, you'll be mazed at best, turned into bacon at worst.
Some time ago the Factions have gotten too big in number, so she gave them an ultimatum, either stop their infighting and reduce the number of Factions or be destroyed, all of them.
There's a reason the Harmonium is probably one of the most powerful Factions in Sigil. They're the "police".
Sigil could be a ghost city for all she cares. As in, no one but dabus live there and not literal ghosts.
If you kill too many people she will intervene for the same reason as she did in the faction war. But it is still not because of the individuals, but because murder on too large a scale threatens the stability of Sigil.
