The quick answer
Find the injured swordsman northwest of Halo Peak’s Boundary Stone, follow the blood trail to Icchantika and choose the Asura response. Keep his White Decree, defeat a hostile creature to stain it, then return the transformed decree to join Midnight Blades and unlock Infernal Twinblades.

Follow the Halo Peak clue
The sect clue becomes available at level 10. In Qinghe’s Sundara Land, search the road and cliff northwest of the Halo Peak Boundary Stone for the Seriously Injured Swordsman. His encounter begins the route into the sect.
Follow the blood on the ground, inspect the bodies along the trail and climb to Icchantika’s overlook. If the trail ends at an empty location, change the in-game time to night and return.
Create the accepted decree
- Speak to Icchantika and select “My heart is that of an Asura” when the choice appears.
- Check that his White Decree is in your bag.
- Defeat a hostile enemy or animal while carrying it. You do not need a player kill for this initiation.
- Inspect the changed item, then follow the joining objective back to Icchantika.
- Hand over the bloodstained result and complete the apprenticeship dialogue.
English names for the transformed result include Corruption Decree and Annihilation Token. Its origin is the useful distinction: it must come from Icchantika’s White Decree after a kill.
If Icchantika rejects your token
The Wine Seller’s Rogue Decree belongs to a different invitation branch. Submitting it can lead towards Nine Mortal Ways. Return to the White Decree route instead of buying another Rogue Decree.
Also check your active membership. Completing the initiation does not give you two sects at once. Finish the leaving process for your current sect before confirming the new membership.
Separate initiation from promotion
Infernal Twinblades unlocks with the successful joining handoff. Later advancement uses combat and Karma objectives, including PvP milestones. Those promotion objectives are not prerequisites for staining the first decree.
Our recommendation is to read the first rank’s objectives before choosing this as a long-term sect. A player who only wants the Martial Art should also compare the Skill Theft alternative. The sect’s combat rules continue after the introductory quest; accepting membership is more than adding a weapon icon.
