And in fact, that was indeed the case. While the other two sects had a rough time after entering, they at least never ended up wandering in circles.

Huo Wen of the Huo family was a direct descendant, and although Huo Jie was from a branch family, he was well aware of the history between Huo Wen and Song Nianchu.

Most importantly, even if one encountered trouble, there was no risk to their lives—at worst, one could simply crush the Jade Tablet and leave the secret realm.
