This is the second part of the paper (the first part is published in Jour. of AMS, vol.9, 1135--1170, q-alg/9508017). In the first part, we defined for every modular tensor category (MTC) inner products on the spaces of morphisms and proved that the inner product on the space $\Hom (\bigoplus X_i\otimes X^*_i, U)$ is modular invariant. Also, we have shown that in the case of the MTC arising from the representations of the quantum group $U_q \sln$ at roots of unity and $U$ being a symmetric power of the fundamental representation, this inner product coincides with so-called Macdonald's inner product on symmetric polynomials. In this paper, we apply the same construction to the MTC coming from the integrable representations of affine Lie algebras. In this case our construction immediately gives a hermitian form on the spaces of conformal blocks, and this form is modular invariant (Warning: we cannot prove that it is positive definite). We show that this form can be rewritten in terms of asymptotics of KZ equations, and calculate it for $sl_2$, in which case the formula is a natural affine analogue of Macdonald's inner product identities. We also formulate as a conjecture similar formula for $sl_n$.
