In Where Winds Meet, there are multiple Sects that players can join, and to join these sects, there are some conditions and rules that need to be met.
To join the Nine Mortal Ways Sect, you need to complete some quest progressions.
How to join the Nine Mortal Ways sect
To join the Nine Mortal Ways, you need to get a large pile of jewelry from the Sect Elder. Here, the Sect Guide is Zhang Yihao.
Talk to Yihao to know that he won't give the jewelry. You need to use the Wind Sense skill to acquire it from him.

After getting the jewelry, reach out to the Elder in the Qinghe outskirts. As you talk to him, you would realize that when you tried to join the Well of Heaven sect, you were actually tricked, and you are now a part of the Nine Mortal Ways sect.
As a confirmation, you receive the Mortal Rope Dart.
What Nine Mortal Ways Looks For
They value:
- Trickery
- Disguise
- Mischief
- Playful deception
- “Living many lives” through role-play
If you naturally use disguise, trick NPCs, or interact socially, you’re already moving toward joining.
Rules of the Nine Mortal Ways
Once you join, you must follow the sect’s guiding principles:
Jianghu Fun
Earn Fun Points each week through antics and trick-based activities.
Failing to meet the quota hurts your sect value.
A Thousand Faces
Use disguises regularly.
Identity-switching isn’t optional — it’s part of your sect “lifestyle.”
Deceiving Heaven
If you mess up:
- Bad trick execution
- Getting exposed during disguise
- Getting jailed
- Failing playful tasks
You lose Virtue. The sect thrives on cleverness, not chaos-for-chaos’ sake.
Legacy of Nine Mortal Ways
The Legacy of Nine Mortal Ways reflects its origins in Ghostlight Market, shaped by the righteous reforms of Zhu Yousheng, a descendant of great heroes who defended the city against invaders. His ideals live on through the current sect master, Zhu Xiaojia, a shadowy guardian who hides his identity. Their legacy embodies cunning, protection, and quiet influence across Jianghu.
Command of Nine Mortal Ways
Nine Mortal Ways Commands focus on living the sect’s playful, unpredictable philosophy. Tasks range from begging for giveaways and helping wanderers to posing with others or joining group cultivation activities.
Each completed command earns reputation, advancing your rank within the sect. These objectives encourage social interaction, creativity, and subtle mischief, reinforcing the sect’s identity through weekly responsibilities.
