TheWoWDBAright so if you are like me and want to kill him for The tranquil master achievment but haven't done any quests at all in the zone then here's what ya need to do: You need to go to the Gao-Ran battlefront and speak with Taran Zhu. Pick up his quest and every other quest you can find there. Continue to do all the quests and as you progress in the storyline Taran Zhu will eventually travel west to the bridge. Continue to do the quests there and he will travel to Rensai's watchpost where he needs to be. After he is there do the quest that leads you to Hawkmaster Nurong a bit below the watchpost and then he will lead you back to Taran Zhu. After all that is done he will give you the quests to go down and kill the Sha of Hatred.
So basically just go to the Gao-Ran battlefront and do every quest you find - just progress through the story.
Depending on how much you've quested in the zone Taran Zhu may already be at the bridge or at the watchpost, if that's the case just pick up the quests from there.
All the quests took me about 20-30 minutes to do.
Hope this helps

Cave entrance can be found at 47.3, 79.3
One of the npc monks drops healing orbs, and another drops healing raid you can use during the fight. Be careful to stay out of the aoes that come crashing down, as they did almost a third of my life every time they hit.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nurong and Rothek
Hawkmaster Nurong has gone ahead to the northwest of Sik'vess to make sure the last mantid leader cannot escape. Catch up with him and help him kill the mantid leader. Nurong will bring back the final crystal once you've aided him in this.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Motives of the Mantid
<class>. You may be of assistance. The Shado-Pan wishes to know why the mantid are attacking so violently. We have our suspicions, but we cannot be sure. Furthermore, we do not want the mantid to know that we are investigating them. That's where you come in.
