The silhouette didn't pay any attention to Meng Fan's movements. Instead, it stared at the brocade box in Meng Fan's embrace, as if it was extremely anxious for Meng Fan to return.
At this time, Zhou Qing also got out of the car in a daze. When she saw the embroidered box on Meng Fan's chest, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Let's go!" "Let's talk inside!" Seeing the two girls acting like this, Meng Fan laughed softly and then took the lead in heading toward the elevator.
Just like before, under Shadow's lead, Meng Fan returned to the "Dark" base. However, the only difference was that it now had another Zhou Qing.
Originally, with Zhou Qing's status, she would not be allowed to enter. However, because of Meng Fan's existence, and seeing how curious Zhou Qing was, she did not stop her. After all, from a certain point of view, Cheng Ying was his.
As soon as he arrived, Zhou Qing was in a state of shock. If Meng Fan hadn't come, then he would never have imagined that someone would be able to create such an environment in a place like this.
It was midnight, but the number of security guards around him did not decrease at all. In fact, there was even more security. When Meng Fan saw the old man, he thought to himself, the security is even denser than when he went to Dragon City Prison.
"So this is Cheng Ying?" In the room, Meng Fan and the others stood off to the side. In front of the three of them, the old man who had met Meng Fan earlier was looking excitedly at the brocade box in Meng Fan's hands.
"Here it is!" Seeing the old man's appearance, Meng Fan could only bitterly smile. He walked up to him and opened the embroidered box. He took out an object that was wrapped in oilcloth and shaped like a stick.
Meng Fan's actions caused everyone in the room, including the two women behind him, to stare at the object in his hand. When Meng Fan opened the tarpaulin, everyone was flabbergasted. This item in front of them really couldn't be related to the name of the ancient sword.
After Meng Fan had stripped Cheng Ying of his tarpaulin, a pitch-black object appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The surface of the tarpaulin was covered with oil stains, making it look like a fire poker.
"So this is Cheng Ying? Isn't this too unsightly? " Seeing this unknown thing in front of her, Zhou Qing said with a look of disbelief, as if she did not believe that this was the so-called Cheng Ying.
After all, in everyone's eyes, the Shadow Bearing Sword represented an ancient civilization. Although it might seem simple on the outside, to be able to be called one of the top ten swords of the ancient era, there must be something special about it.
"This is Cheng Ying!" Compared to Zhou Qing, Shadow and the old man were clearly much calmer. However, even they were very suspicious of what Meng Fan had just taken out.
In any case, ever since Chengying had been collected by the guards, he had never been born. Not many people had actually seen him, let alone them. Now that they saw what Meng Fan had taken out, they even suspected that he had been duped by him.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Meng Fan chuckled. Without any surprise, he held the black item in his hand and shook it. With a series of light "ka ka" sounds, cracks appeared on the surface of the black item. It fell down, revealing its original appearance.
When those black objects fell behind, everyone finally saw the original appearance of Cheng Ying. Although it was not considered shocking, it still caused everyone to be shocked quite a bit.
The Shadow Bearing Sword was said to be an exquisite and elegant sword. Now that he saw the sword in Meng Fan's hand, it did not lose out in the slightest to his predecessors' descriptions.
The entire body of the sword was a bluish-white color, and the color of the sword tip became fainter and fainter the further it went. On the sword hilt, the color of the sword tip became fainter and fainter, and on the sword hilt, a dark-blue color appeared on the sword hilt.
For example, from the beginning to the end, three feet was equal to one meter, but the scale of this sword came from an even earlier period of time. Even this three foot sword was only 60 centimeters long, and by the standards of a merchant, this was also the origin of the ancient saying, 'three feet'.
Seeing the sword in front of him, even though Meng Fan had seen it many times, his heart still couldn't help but tremble. He stared intently at the sword in his hands, as though this sword contained a heroic spirit, as though as long as he held it in his hands, he would be able to deal with all his enemies.
"Shadow Bearing!" Looking at Cheng Ying's lineup, the old man cried out in surprise, his excited look was not any less than those people who were too old to care. Even the wrinkles on his face began to tremble, and his eyes stared at Cheng Ying with fire, and besides shock, there was also a hint of greed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Meng Fan's expression flickered. His heart trembled, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the figure, as if he were on guard against something.
"Haha!" Am I too excited? This is Cheng Ying? " The old man was also aware of Meng Fan's transformation, and laughed heartily. In an instant, he returned to his previous state. However, his eyes were still fixed on the figure in Meng Fan's hand, as he confirmed his words.
"That's right!" He is Chengying, and that's only his sword embryo. The real Chengying is here! " Meng Fan laughed coldly to himself. With a flick of his wrist, he seemed to have activated some sort of switch. A light sound rang out, and something fell off of the blade.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Meng Fan waved his sword. A cold light flashed, and on the Shadow Bearing Sword, another object flew out. It seemed to have fallen onto the sword, as if something had connected with the sword.
Only now did he realize that the sound of Cheng Ying's green and white sword was actually hiding another sharp weapon that was one foot long. He didn't know what connected the two, but it was more than two feet long. Under Meng Fan's control, along with the three feet of the sword, they added up to around six feet.
If not for Meng Fan's display, how could they have ever imagined that there would be such a small sword hidden on the Shadow Bearing Sword? The small sword was a foot long and had a thread at the end that connected it to the sword embryo.
One could imagine, if one held this sword in their hands and the other side was not aware of the situation, using a small sword that could be controlled from the sword origin could have an unexpected effect, and could even kill the opponent directly.
"Shadow Bearing Sword!" The flood dragon split up into shadows, and the geese fell back into oblivion! This is the real Shadow Bearing Sword. Although the three and a half meter long blade that you see outside is extremely rare, if you want to talk about exquisite and elegant, this is the real Shadow Bearing Sword! "
Meng Fan held onto the sword hilt. With a flick of his wrist, his two fingers held onto the small sword as he explained in a profound manner. With that, he placed the small sword back into the sword's blade, as if it had never appeared before. The sword also returned to its previous state.0
"Indeed worthy of being one of the top ten great swords. In ancient times, to be able to create such a sword, it is truly an unprecedented feat!" Meng Fan's explanation caused the old man to sigh in surprise, and his eyes grew even more serious. It seemed that this Cheng Ying had shocked him quite a bit as well.
On the other hand, Shadow and Zhou Qing were still staring at Cheng Ying, their faces filled with shock. They had forgotten to ask any questions, clearly stunned by what they had just seen.
"I'll leave it to you!" However, I hope that you all can settle this matter as soon as possible. For me, this sword still has other things to do! " After hesitating for a long time, he finally handed Cheng Ying over to the old man. Although he was unwilling, the plan still had to continue. Moreover, this was the foundation of their cooperation.
"Don't worry!" It will definitely be returned to us within one day! " Seeing Meng Fan's actions, the old man's face turned serious. He solemnly received the shadow that Meng Fan passed to him. After he obtained the shadow, even he couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.
"I hope so!" Seeing the old man's excited expression, Meng Fan laughed dryly with an expressionless face. It was as if he didn't really believe the old man's words.
However, to him, even if he did not believe the words of the old man, he had no choice but to take the risk. Even if the old man were to personally take away Cheng Ying, he would likely not be able to say anything.
Meng Fan had always been aware of the power of 'darkness'. This was also the power he didn't want to provoke, even within his own country. Of course, it was also the most powerful force within his own country, and even if Meng Fan was confident, he wouldn't be able to contend against it.
"Don't worry!" I will definitely do what I've promised. No matter what, this is your personal property, so we won't act rashly! " The old man seemed to be able to see Meng Fan's misgivings, and he carefully put away Cheng Ying. Then, he looked at Meng Fan and laughed.
"That's good! This sword is an antique in your eyes, it is history. But in my opinion, it's just a weapon, an exquisite sword. Only by experiencing true slaughter and drinking blood would I be able to live up to my reputation as one of the top ten ancient swords! "
"Alright! I originally intended to persuade you to hand it over to the country, but now that it seems like you have already decided on its destination, I won't say anymore. Before tomorrow night, I will get someone to send it to you! " Hearing Meng Fan's words caused the old man's face to freeze for a moment. Then, he seemed to recall something, and smiled.
"Good!" "Then we will take our leave first. As for the rest of the matters, it will depend on your arrangements!" After obtaining the old man's promise, Meng Fan was less hesitant. He glanced at Zhou Qing, who was not far away, then gave her a meaningful glance before turning around and walking away.
At this moment, Zhou Qing had also recovered from her shock. She looked at the old man in surprise before following Meng Fan out.
On the other hand, after Meng Fan and Zhou Qing left, Ying stood there with a conflicted expression. When she saw the old man giving her a look, she reluctantly followed Meng Fan and Zhou Qing out.
After leaving, Meng Fan drove the two girls away. Since it was midnight, there weren't many cars on the road, so the three of them quickly returned to the apartment. Due to the exhaustion from the previous day, the three of them didn't say much and went back to their own rooms to rest, as if nothing had happened today.
However, while Meng Fan was resting, the news of Chengying's reappearance spread like wildfire from the shore. Some of the forces that had been paying attention to Chengying also received the news immediately.
However, what caused these people to be puzzled was that although the whereabouts of Chengying had spread out, it did not show who else had the information on him. The only way to obtain the information also disappeared at the first moment, as if it had disappeared from the world without any news.
Even so, many people were still certain about the whereabouts of Chengying. Not only was the news about him circulated, there was also a series of photos about him, which caused the ancient sword Chengying that had been missing ever since the Shang Dynasty to break into people's line of sight.
