1-st part of the Assault: The Black Empire is pretty straightforward, just complete the objectives on the map.

[npc=153326] is located in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and he is the final objective of the Assault: The Black Empire
He is underground and the entrance is near the huge statue south-west of the rare (You can see a statue on the map (top one near the The Golden Pagoda title))

If you see the yellow question mark to turn it in near Vil'raxx, don't be fooled. It goes back up to Lorewalker Cho in the Seat of Knowledge at 83.6, 27.2
Edit: There is now a void portal located behind where you kill Vil'raxx that will return you to Mogushan Palace just below the Seat of Knowledge.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
