Chapter 841: A Journey through Guanzhong!
Before entering the Central Plains, Luo Su looked back over his journey.
Between the Greater Khingan Range and Mount Langjuxu (called Mount Khentii by the grassland peoples) lay the eastern desert grasslands, watered by Lake Hulun, Lake Buir, and numerous rivers. In the Xiongnu era, this had been the territory of the Left Xian King.
He now stood within the vast territory of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate. Here lay lush grasslands between Mount Langjuxu (Mount Khentii) and Mount Yanran (called the Khangai Mountains by the grassland peoples), watered by the Selenga River. At their northernmost end was the North Sea, where Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing had killed the Xiongnu Chanyu.
The peerless Marquis Wuxiang, Luo Shi, had slain the last Xiongnu Chanyu here. These grasslands were known as the northern desert grasslands, a natural barrier the Central Plains could scarcely cross.

West of Mount Yanran lay another stretch of grasslands, known as the western desert grasslands, the territory of the King of the Right Wise during the Xiongnu era. The Eastern and Western Turks divided their spheres of influence at the Altai Mountains. Luo Su had yet to set foot there; he could pass through Western Turkic territory on his way to the Western Regions.
