If you're unable to start this quest after finishing Balanced Perspective, check to make sure you have done Stronger than Bone, which starts from a green totem outside the hozen village. This may allow you to continue your questing.
Ok - you ran across the ropes from "Balanced Perspective" and you are now on Dafeng, the Spirit of Air. Aysa will be following you on this journey.
Follow the trail south out of the village. The trail ends at the Chamber of Whispers. Do not run in right away or you could potentially die. Tornadic winds will blow debris out of the building and onto you. So step back and take cover after Aysa tells you to "Watch Out". If you don't have audio - then step in and back out before you take damage.
Once the blast subsides - run into the room - across the room and up the stairs. Another blast will start when you hit the stairs, take cover behind a pillar next to the wall to minimize the damage.
Run into the room, across the room, the wind calms and you can turn in the quest once you reach Dafeng.

Description
If you listen long enough, the wind will carry the answer to you. Dafeng, the spirit of air, has been scared from the skies by Zhao-Ren, the Onyx Serpent. He hides within the Chamber of Whispers, at the south side of the plateau. Go to him. Ji and I will join you there.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Balanced Perspective
Aysa has been meditating on the lake since we've arrived, all her thoughts focused on Dafeng. I don't know what she hopes to discover out there, but she's no fool, and Master Shang Xi has entrusted this task with her. You will need to cross the ropes leading from the end of the dock to reach her.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Battle for the Skies
Dafeng, the spirit of air, is terrified by Zhao-Ren, the Onyx Serpent. We must help him face that fear, or face it for him ourselves. When I told Ji of the serpent, he said he had an idea and would begin preparations outside of the chamber.
