Ashiok, Dream Render/Undead Alchemist

Ashioks exile opponent's graveyard right after its mill, but if there's any creature entering GY during the process, would it still create a token via Undead Alchemist?

Many destroy spells have secondary effect that would apply even if the targeted creature is indestructible, so I'm wonder if it also applies here where Alchemist would create a zombie even if the original creature got exiled ahead of time.

Undead Alchemist's second ability will still create a token even if the card it refers to has left the graveyard in the meantime (C.R. 101.3). Note that the ability doesn't say, for example, "...exile that card. If you do, create..." (C.R. 118.12). Compare Undead Alchemist with Academy Rector, Standstill, or Booby Trap, and see also Monkey Cage and Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero.
