As Xiao Lin turned the pages of the book handed to him by Clan Chief Xiao Dongcheng, he felt an increasingly indescribable chill with every page he read.
Starting nearly a thousand years ago, not a single Xiao Household expert who had surpassed the Dou Emperor realm had died of old age!
All kinds of accidents had always appeared, claiming the lives of these Xiao Household ancestors.
Though the Xiao Household had produced so many experts above the Dou Emperor realm over the past thousand years, even some who had nearly reached the Dou Venerable realm, the tragic part was that all of them had failed to live out their natural lifespans for various special reasons.

But damn it, every single Xiao Household expert who had reached the Dou Emperor realm or above over the past thousand years had died in an accident. If that was still considered normal, then there really had to be something fishy going
