The ending of the first film was kinda setting up an immediate sequel. But it seems that this film takes place later and isn't connected directly to the first one.
This is a fantasy wuxia drama and it is much more consistent throughout - there is only one clown, and only for about one third of the movie.
Their reasons for dangerous macguffins from the both movies not being destroyed long ago is that it would be a shame to do that to ancient arts.
The cinematography is amateurish - they do some uncool tricks and think that that looks cool. And there are plenty of cuts during the fights.
