The Darkness Around Us is a quest for level 10-35 in The Jade Forest. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.
Despite our best efforts, the sha broke the seals around the main temple.
If we cannot hold them back here, their darkness will spread to the rest of the Jade Forest.
We need your help immediately. Kill any sha creatures that you see. They should not be difficult to find.

The mobs are in a courtyard gathering around some adepts/guardians. You can pull them off the adepts and get credit for killing them even if they aren't at full health. If you're also on the Hidden Power quest, those guardians or adepts are the ones you need to deliver the Mantras to.
While running down the stairs they do not aggro, but if they reach their spot and don't find anybody to fight, they'll aggro you (assuming you're in range).
This is a daily quest for the August Celestial faction so you must first get to Revered with the Golden Lotus to unlock it. This is one of 4 diffrent places that the August Celestials have thier dailies, you can either visit all 4 sites (Temples to the Jade Serpent or White Tiger, Cradle of Chi-Ji, and Niuzao Temple) if you have time to waste or you can go to [npc=64001] (Horde) or [npc=64032] (Alliance) in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (Shine of Two Moons and Seven Stars respectively) to see exactly where the daily hub will be at.
If you can't see the mobs, try flying out of the area (maybe above the Jade Temple instance) and then flying back in.
I couldn't see any of these sha invaders at first. I flew all around the area looking for them, but saw nothing. It was bright and sunny, and there were lots of calm Pandaren NPCs sitting around. I then flew into the outdoor version of the Jade Temple, saw nothing, came back, and then the scene became darker, and there were a ton of sha creatures right in front of the temple.

Taken from a quest that requires this one.
A terrible manifestation of the sha has appeared to the south. It is trying to destroy an ancient relic, the Bell of a Thousand Whispers. This bell has never been rung in the temple's history, for it is rumored to be an ancient instrument of power. Please go and defeat this demon where it stands!
Do you see the violent black and white flames erupting all around the temple? The greater our doubt, the stronger they rage. Unchecked, they will devour the entire temple. We have but one hope. Take flight on one of our war serpents.
