Ye Shikai had no Inner Strength, and none of the Netherworld Palace generals were by his side, so his plan was to sneak off during the chaos and then send a flare, informing Wang Kai and Athena to retreat at the right time. Although it sounds somewhat "unprincipled," it was a desperate measure. The fierce battle among several Main Gods was such that even experts on the Dark List wouldn't dare to "meddle," let alone an ordinary person. If Ye Shikai charged in recklessly, he'd only become a burden. On the contrary, the faster Ye Shikai "escaped," the sooner Athena and Wang Kai could leave, and the safer they would be.
Emily naturally didn't want to confront Doris head-on. Although her skills weren't weak, she was clearly not a match for Doris. Most importantly, she didn't want to lose her life here, so she chose to stay with Ye Shikai. Firstly, to avoid the fierce battle, and secondly, to protect Ye Shikai's safety.
