Chapter 2407: Chapter 2427: An Old Acquaintance of Xi Jie?

"Who are you?"

In Linglong Tower, Xi Jie’s clear voice suddenly rang out, cold and confused, "I don’t recognize you."

The woman in red clothes smiled charmingly, "Xi, is that you?"

Lin Chen was startled, to call out Xi Jie by name, that had to be an old acquaintance.

An old acquaintance, was it an enemy or a friend?

XI’s voice gained a serious tone, "You know me, are you with those people?"

The woman in red clothes smiled softly, "Are you talking about the group that was hunting and killing your master?"

"Yes!"

The woman in red clothes chuckled lightly, "You fought against them back then. If I were one of them, you would definitely remember me."

Xi fell silent for a few seconds, then said coldly, "You indeed were not among the crowd back then. You can call out my name, which is not something anyone would know. Who the hell are you, and what is your relationship with my master?"

The woman in red clothes laughed lightly, "There is some relationship. But even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. Let’s talk about you instead. You’ve vanished without a trace for so long, how come you’ve suddenly reappeared?"

Xi said coldly, "If you don’t reveal your identity, don’t expect to know anything from me."

The woman in red clothes smiled, "I’ve had no contact with you, but well, our relationship is a bit special. What I can tell you is that, I may not exactly be your master’s friend, but I am definitely not an enemy either."

Xi fell silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What do you want to do?"

The woman in red clothes laughed, "I never expected to meet you here. I heard your master died, and you reappeared. Have you found a new master?"

Lin Chen’s body suddenly relaxed, and he regained his freedom. Before he could speak, the woman in red clothes’s gaze had already swept over him, "Having seen you summon the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower earlier, don’t tell me you’re her new master?"

At that moment, Lin Chen’s heart calmed down, and his voice was completely steady, "I am not Xi Jie’s master. We are friends."

"Friends?"

The woman in red clothes nodded with a light laugh, "Yes, her previous master was so outstanding, it’s unlikely she would submit to anyone else. Back then, she wasn’t even afraid of death. If her master hadn’t sent her away, she probably would have fought until she crumbled to dust, body and soul wiped out."

Lin Chen nodded openly, "Since you know Xi Jie’s name and you’re not the enemy, then do you know the final circumstances of her master?"

The woman in red clothes appeared slightly astonished, "Isn’t her master dead?"

Lin Chen frowned; the woman’s expression did not seem fake, and besides, she didn’t need to pretend. After all, at that moment, she was the controller here. Let alone himself, even if Xi Jie, Master Floating Cloud, and others teamed up, they would not be her match.

Seeing that Xi Jie was silent, Lin Chen spoke, "Yes, that’s what everyone says, but not a single person can accurately state the exact circumstances, like how he died, whether his body still exists, and if so, where?"

The woman in red clothes nodded thoughtfully, her gaze returning to Linglong Tower, "It seems you’re unwilling to believe in your master’s death and feel that he’s still alive. You want to find him again?"

Xi’s voice was cold, "Yes, if he is truly dead, I hope to find definite evidence."

The woman in red clothes didn’t show any mocking expression but nodded in agreement, "That’s only right. He was like a father to you, and your relationship was not that of an ordinary master and servant. It’s understandable that you wish to find the true cause of his death."

Xi spoke up, "Since you say you’re not my master’s enemy, then let us go..."

The woman in red clothes tapped her chin lightly with her index finger and smiled, "He says he’s not your master, yet he can summon and control Linglong Tower. Did you sign a Friendship Contract?"

"Yes!"

Xi answered calmly and pronouncedly for Lin Chen, "He is not powerful. Whatever your purpose, he is of no use to you."

The woman in red clothes chuckled, "Indeed he’s not up to the mark, but I’m very interested in a few fellows inside the Tower. They’re quite formidable and could be very useful to me..."

Xi asked coldly, "What exactly do you intend to do by setting up this Roulette Secret Realm?"

The woman in red clothes smiled sweetly, "What else could I be doing but capturing a labor force?"

Capturing a labor force?

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked subconsciously, "What do you need a labor force for?"

The woman in red clothes laughed, "Naturally, to work for me. As for what they’ll do specifically, that depends on what I currently need people for. I control Space Supernatural powers and travel through countless worlds. Surely, you can’t expect me to do everything myself, can you?"

Lin Chen’s mind involuntarily conjured up the Secret Realm where he searched for the Yin-Yang Spring; it too was a world but devoid of inhabitants. True Person Tai Xu also traveled through space and then searched the entire world, finding the Yin-Yang Spring. And after Qingyuan City and the Three Sects discovered the Secret Realm, over ten thousand disciples searched the realm for a year and found countless treasures.

As a possessor of great power in space, the woman in red clothes could also travel through countless worlds. Could it be that she was capturing these people to help her search for the various treasures of this world as
